In Anniston, an Alabama newspaper attributes a mystery felony to serpent handling preacher Glenn Summerford. The claim initiates a new quest for podcasters Abe Partridge and Ferrill Gibbs, tipped off about the article by Andrew Hamblin, serpent handling preacher from Gray, KY.For months, Ferrill and Abe dig into the claim, and in the process discover parts of the Summerford story do not jibe with the media's coverage over the years. Coloring the way Abe views journalists on the "Snake Beat" is the media's treatment of Andrew and Taylor Hamblin, who, one night, let down their guard for Ferrill and Abe. In a rousing display of trust and acceptance, the two instrumentalists play Ferrill and Abe an incredible version of the faith's most powerful song, Little David Play On Your Harp. It happens late in the night, capping an incredible overnight recording session.
