Sam Singleton Atheist Evangelist’s live performances draw a surprisingly diverse audience--not only the expected “true nonbelievers” and “philosophical and theological types” but, a lot of people who just like to laugh.
The two-act show, which writ…
sure. where is your place? did you have any topics you wanted to hit? or mechanics you'd like to tweak in the podcast format? or technical shit? hey what's up :)
I'd like to organize some more-frequent atheist meets here in my native Philly, but where we do other fun shit besides drink and talk about logic and fundwits. Philly needs to be doing most of whatever the Atheist Community of Austin are doing (activities, calendar).
Became incredulous early in catholic school after learning their laughable beliefs about Babel and language and a sky-tower. Had disbelieved in god/souls/hell/heaven after high school, but it was an NPR thing with Penn Jillette that cinched it for me. It was the first time I heard someone make his own case that he believed there was no god. Now I outright deny the existence or effects of any supernatural ...woo-woo.
In the closet to immediate family, though most of my friends know I'm an explicit atheist.
I still think the Tao Te Ching is an awesome book, but i now understand why -some- of the cantos never made any sense to me.

Hey, man. Sorry it took me a few days to get back to you, I guess I was waiting on an email, but now that I see how confusing the nexus' emailing system is I'm not surprised. Anyway, I run this blog goodreasonnews.blogspot.com and was considering a podcast that kind of reviewed the week or two weeks or whatever in religion/atheism news and opinions. In addition to being a godless liberal, I'm also a professional journalist and I've worked in radio before. I was hoping to model the podcast after something like Austin's Non-Prophets mixed with possible guest interviews like Free Thought Radio.
As far as technical equipment, I have a few microphones. I might have a friend in drexel, but I doubt that means we can use their studio, and I also might have a friend working at 88.1 WPEB. It's that west philly radio station (the city paper did a nice piece about them when they opened about this time last year.)
It only reaches a couple miles, but I don't see why we couldn't do a show out of there and make it available for podcast online.
These are just a few ideas I've been tossing around, but when I saw your post, I thought 'oh, good, someone else is into it.'
What do you think? Want to meet and discuss ideas some day?

I'm not sure about Drexel's TV production/broadcasting capability. I'm a law student, so I'm not in a lot of the flow of the University as a whole. Sorry. Welcome to AN, though.
Welcome to Atheist Nexus, and the wide wide world of common sense.
Join groups, and help and profit from the discussions and rational debate. e.g. try visiting the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Humankind, Darwin..." for sociable discussion and good writing. Terry Meaden
"Free-thinker" was a popular term in the 19th century amongst atheists and I see no reason why it shouldn't be re-activated. It captures the Enlightenment ideals of thinking and investigation without fear or prejudice. For the British amongst us Cha…
I think this ignores one simple and demonstrable fact: Beginning with the 17th century enlightenment, there has been a gradual movement away from religious faith. An increase in knowledge about nature has offered a competing theory about life's orig…
The other day I was talking to an old friend and she was telling me "you know Diaddy when rapture comes, dont you want your kids to go to heaven?' My son (who is 9) came out of the room and told her "woman dont you know I dont believe in god? dont w…
I was having lunch today with a bunch of my coworkers, and the topic drifted into the subject of religion (I promise, I didn't do it). The group consisted of three agnostics (including myself), a Catholic, a liberal Christian, and my boss, who is a…
This group will do more than just pick apart biblical errors and contradictions. Let's closely examine the Bible and Qur'an. Nothing is sacred; every prophecy, proverb, and parable deserves examination and critique.
Hi everyone,I grew up in a Christian home, and for 30 years I was quite dedicated to it. A couple of years ago, I think it was in 2004 or 2005, I lost all faith in the religion. So here I am. Atheist since 5 years, and I can see any reason why ever…
This sounds like many doable ideas and I don't mean to be a killjoy but.....the local atheist group I belonged to for several yrs managed to get tax exempt status so donations could be deductable and that took them almost a yr. Gov't agencied weren'…
