The G*M*S Magazine Podcast Episode 108–Machinations with James Desborough

I think it’s fair to say James Desborough is one of the most controversial and outspoken writers out there. His views on theism, sexism and politics have gained him a fair number of detractors who are just as outspoken as he is. Sometimes more.
