I'm Scared To Death of THIS: Comedian David Baddiel

Just one episode after my interview with Richard Dawkins, it's another of Britain's most famous and intelligent thinkers, comedian David Baddiel on On the Edge with Andrew Gold. His new book The God Desire is a hysterical look into the abyss (perhaps a comic version of The God Delusion!). I enjoyed every line.
