Let's talk about who got canceled this year and whatever comes to mind in a no notes kind of episode with just me. New York Post canceled article: https://nypost.com/article/who-got-canceled-and-why-in-2021/ Live Read Don't Lets Start TMBG podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dont-lets-start-a-podcast-about-they-might-be-giants/id1445969090

A few weeks ago we all saw the Holy Kool Aid video with Bart Erhman. It was the longest video I've seen in which he discusses Jesus mythicism. How were those arguments? The author of Nailed and Jesus: Mything in Action has thoughts.

I haven’t been to an atheist conference for years although there is the upcoming American Atheist conference in Atlanta next April. Funnily enough if that’s a word, I have a holiday for Good Friday and I can think of nothing better than using that time off to hang out with fellow heathens. Reggie Beloved raised money to help people in Haiti so when he told me he was going to the Faithless Forum I had to...

Chris and I talked about beer mostly, and what’s pissing us off this week. Honestly the beer talk was the best part.

I checked out the GCRR conference on Jesus historicity and reached out to the founder. Dr. Darren Slade was a believer, a minister, and a police officer before becoming an atheist. He’s the President and CEO of the Global Center for Religious Research. This group does conferences (virtual even before Covid), publishes papers and books. He’s the founding editor of the socio-historical examination of religion and ministry (SHERM). He’s the research director for The FaithX Project which...

After another long absence, Kory returns to the show. We talk about our ReasonCon meet cute, the ups and downs of the atheist community and her relationship with Chris Mailey. Then we talk about Florida, covid, coming to a new place and finding new love/community. I absolutely butcher some Star Trek references. Of course we talk a bit about 9/11. Live Read Hasan Piker talks about 9/11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrdD8IcQ11w

We mainly discussed the post apocalyptic and damn enjoyable trilogy of the Time Shards series. Note that there are some series spoilers starting in the 30 minute or so range of our talk.

It’s another reunion as Reggie and I talk about Haiti, Afghanistan, being an essential worker during covid and Dolphins football. We wanted to highlight Reggie’s fundraiser to help Haiti after the recent...

It's me and Chris just shooting the shit for 45ish minutes. You know the drill.

Note that this is the audio from episode 136 of the Postmodern Polymath podcast. Candace Gorham is a licensed medical health counselor and the author of The Ebony Exodus Project and On Death, Dying, and Disbelief. We talked about her own grief leading to writing the book and how nonbelievers can deal with grieving.

I don’t have a ton to add here. I’m just rambling for 45 minutes this week. Here are some of my favorite shows at the moment: Hasan Piker: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtoaZpBnrd0lhycxYJ4MNOQ RM Brown: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCntrDMFntic0pULIhVFZ8qw Worst Year(s) ever talk about Tucker Carlson: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-worst-year-ever-49377032/ Look at me, new co-host of the Postmodern Polymaths...

Brent’s back! We talked about debating, the recent death of his dad and dealing with religious family members, his tripling up on podcasts, and of course Steven Crowder.

Robert Stanley comes back! We talked about his thoughts behind starting a podcast and how he’s still motivated to do it. We discussed some of his episodes like the debate on systemic racism, a debate on evolution, the problem of evil, and the atheist who turned Muslim. We also had a short “spirited” debate on left versus right wing violence due to protests. I still don’t know if I could do a debate, and whether I’d get anything out of it. There’s a little bit on platforming and forgive me...

Chris and I had a bit of a ramble thanks to his pain meds and my beer meds. We talked about the downer content that we regularly consume and have the usual discussion on whatever still remains the atheist community. Christiosity talks Richard Dawkins vs Humanism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjTZEdQCEWI Right to Reason talks with Justin aka EA former atheist turned Muslim https://therighttoreason.podbean.com/e/atheist-turned-muslim-justin-downing I don’t speak german discussion on...

We met once, episode 140, in a house north of the city and it was my first and only "live" podcast appearance. We are doing it more in the Covid style with four of us in four locations. What the hell is shoe gazing? Are people drinking an IPA on my show? What have we been up to since we last chatted? Where has the atheist community gone? Will there be conferences in the future? So much chat, so much time. Godless...

If you want a 101 on how to build community, hit Sarah up. She’s dominating the Secular Week of Action with her Polk County Atheists, crushing it with the Freethought in Florida podcast and occasionally sharing the knowledge with Sarah Talks. http://www.callmesarah.com/ http://www.sarahtalk.com/ https://weekofaction.org/ https://polkatheists.org/ Fif.show https://twitter.com/SarahTalkRadio https://twitter.com/polkatheists?lang=en Live...

I attempted a new office setup and did 45 minutes of rambling about the morally bankrupt defense of Richard Dawkins by some prominent atheists and thoughts on doing 250 podcasts.

I didn’t plan to have a somewhat extensive conversation about Richard Dawkins’ poorly thought out tweet about trans people, but you have to report the news. Alison Gill is the Vice President of Legal and Policy at American Atheists. She has managed state-level advocacy on issues such as conversion therapy, bullying prevention, education discrimination, health and wellness, youth homelessness, and data collection.

What’s the 604 all about? Is it the number of hot peppers this guy needs to be satisfied? Neil started as a Christian raised by Jews, took the side road to paganism and ended up in our camp. We talked about his background, meeting his birth family, the conferences that helped him in the community and doing three hour post shows.

Trevor started as an evangelical and ended up an atheist content creator. On youtube of all places. Youtube! You should see the ads. In any case, he went from a believer to poking holes by doing a podcast and later video essays, and he’s built a nice following. We talked about his transition, deciding to do an expose on the John 3:16 guy, and why tuxedo cats are the...
