About this listen

In Anniston, an Alabama newspaper attributes a mystery felony to serpent handling preacher, Glenn Summerford.

This claim initiates a new quest for podcasters Abe Partridge and Ferrill Gibbs, who are tipped off about this article by Andrew Hamblin, serpent handling preacher from Gray, KY.

For months, Ferrill and Abe dig into this claim. In the process, they discover parts of the Summerford story do not jibe with the media coverage over the years.

Coloring the way Abe views journalists on the Snake Beat is the media's treatment of Andrew and Taylor Hamblin. One night, they let down their guard for the two podcasters, and, in a rousing display of trust and acceptance, play Ferrill and Abe an incredible version of the faith's most powerful worship song, Little David Play On Your Harp. It happens late one night, capping an incredible overnight recording session.
