Pulitzer Prize winning author, lawyer, and historian Edward J. Larson joins the pod to talk about the legacy of the Scopes trial as it turns 100 this week. Larson’s book, Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion, is a fascinating dive into this subject. At the height of the Roaring 20s, science and religion clashed in Dayton, Tennessee. Two rhetorical titans, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, dueled in the trial of the century. Take a deep dive with Andrew before all the other retrospectives air.
