President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dismantled the country’s institutions. As an election looms we ask what democratic guardrails remain, and examine the wider risks if those go, too. “Non-compete” clauses designed to protect trade secrets when employees depart are being abused—and trustbusters are going after them. And Ryuichi Sakamoto, a famed Japanese composer, reckons with mortality in his latest release.

A UC Berkeley study estimates there are about 38,000 acres of land owned by faith groups in California, an area roughly the size of Stockton, that are largely going unused. Some churches want to build affordable housing on that extra land— but building any kind of housing in California means jumping through a lot of hoops. Reporter Adhiti Bandlamudi finds out what it would take for houses of worship to house people in God's backyard.

Village SquareCast - God Squad: Holy Misconceptions, Batman!!

Isn't Hanukkah the most important holiday to Jews? Don't Catholics object to sex unless reproduction is the goal? Don't all religions worship the same God and (more or less) teach the same things? Doesn't the Bible say that God helps those who help themselves? The God Squad will consider many of the myths, truths, and misunderstandings that everyday people have about religion in America.

Joining us for God Squad are Dr. Gary Shultz of First Baptist Church Tallahassee, Father Tom Dillion of St. John Paul II Chapel, Dr. Judy Mandrell of Life Changer Church of God in Christ, Adil Attari, and Retired Rabbi Jack Romberg.

Funding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
