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.
