S05-E01 We feature U.S. Supreme Court Justice Alito and audio summary of the SCOTUS decision concerning Burwell v. Hobby Lobby regarding religious freedom of businesses. The court case examined whether the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 allows a for-profit company to deny its employees' health coverage of contraception to which the employees would otherwise be entitled based on the religious objections of the company's owner. The Court held that Congress intended for the RFRA to be read as applying to corporations since they are composed of individuals who use them to achieve desired ends. Because the contraception requirement forces religious corporations to fund what they consider abortion, which goes against their stated religious principles, or face significant fines, it creates a substantial burden that is not the least restrictive method of satisfying the government's interests. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a short summary of the court case, secondly Justice Alito’s written opinion on behalf of the Supreme Court majority, and thirdly a biographical history of Justice Alito.

In 1940, at just 13 years of age, Princess Elizabeth spoke briefly with listeners throughout the commonwealth and the U.S through a BBC children’s radio program. It was a morale-boosting message to fellow young people affected by the devastating German air attacks and threats of invasion during the early part of World War II. She spoke with a maturity far beyond her young age to inspire hope for the children, some of which have been forced to evacuate from the British cities to the countryside or to other countries including the U.S. I provide several PDF documents in addition to this audio episode: First, a biography of Princess Elizabeth who would in just a few years become Queen Elizabeth II. Second, an overview of the British civilians, both young and old, who were evacuated from Britain to other countries. Third, an overview of the civilians who trekked to the British countryside to avoid the German air attacks. And fourth, an overview of the BBC Children’s Hour radio show where Princess Elizabeth delivered her short speech.
