Description

Missouri is known as the "Show Me State," which is dumb. On the flip side of the coin, Dan is a guy from Missouri and he likes to be shown things, even if those things are sometimes pretty dumb. This podcast is a means for him to seek those places out, and meditate on how they relate to their human experience.

Dan's travels take him back to his home-state of Missouri, where he ends up confused by crassness and sincerity of the Precious Moments Chapel.  To make sense of it all, he sits down with author Robbie Parker for a chat about the chapel, the figurines, and whether or not it's all very weird.
