Summary: This episode may likely be our most controversial one. Patrick McCollum is a pagan Chaplin working with the Cherry Hill Seminary (http://www.cherryhillseminary.org/). He works with about 2,000 Pagan Prisoners in California and has run into a gauntlet of administrative outright discrimination. Many of those prisoners are Asatruar, who are looking for some means to worship. We pop a few prison myths about racism and whether we should act at all. I can not think of a podcast that we have done that was not as important as this one. We would like to thank the Pagan Spirit Gathering for helping us make this interview happen. PSG is going on June 20-27, near Salem, Missouri.
