Danielle Muscato is the former Public Relations Director for American Atheists. She is a civil rights activist, public speaker, writer, debater, musician, and trans* woman whose recent tweet storm calling out president-elect Donald Trump quickly went viral. She's done a ton of media interviews lately, and we were fortunate to have some time open for her to appear as a guest on this episode of the Godless Rebelution. Grant Larimer was kind enough to join us in-studio as our guest host this week. ...

How did Hillary Clinton lose to an orange, pussy-grabbing clown? Who can we castigate for allowing this to happen? More importantly, what can we do to make sure this type of thing doesn't happen again? Geoff Linville joins us in-studio to discuss what went wrong with the 2016 election. This episode was a lot of fun. We went from being angry at neo-Nazi Trump supporters to laughing so hard we were crying. You're welcome!

Don't let any of your Mormon friends hear this episode - they might start questioning their faith. Mythrin is one of the moderators for the ex-Mormon subreddit, and he's a veritable cornucopia of weird Mormon history. We were delighted to have him join us in-studio for an interview and rundown of some of the more "interesting" things about the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (A.K.A. the Mormon/LDS Church).

Ryan and Dan are joined in-studio by Grant Larimer once again to fill your earholes with all things atheist, and attempt to impress upon you the importance of your vote. Along the way, we hear from god-botherers who liken Donald Trump to St. Peter and King David. This episode is the perfect accompaniment to standing in long voting lines and/or assuaging your existential concerns. You're welcome!

Ryan and Dan are in-studio to tell you a couple ghost stories, but don't worry - ghosts aren't real. Matt joins us via pre-recorded segments (and the occasional quote that was mined from old episodes). We offer some advice on how to deal with religious people (including family members) after you leave religion, and we discuss stories from the likes of Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann, the Catholic Church, Ken Ham, Donald Trump, Wayne Allyn Root, Alex Jones, Lance Wallnau, and Jim Bakker.

We're joined in-studio by the Purple Dragon (A.K.A. Grant Larimer) for coverage of the third and final presidential debate (thank Jebus). No longer content to sit back while Donald Trump flapped his alternatingly pursed and puckered lips, Clinton handily won this debate. She was calm, prepared, and unafraid of calling Trump out on his bullshit. Trump, on the other hand, was his usual self - boorish, unprepared, ill-spoken,and petulant. We were pleased he didn't sniffle nearly as much during this...

Taylor Grin joined us via phone to cover the 2nd Presidential debate. This debate was held only two days after the video was released which shows Donald Trump bragging about sexually assaulting multiple women. It was also marked once again by Trump repeatedly sniffing like a dog whose cocaine-filled chew toy has rolled under the couch. We wanted to get this out as soon as possible, so there are no quote drops, no ads for other shows, and no song at the end. Even with eliminating those elements, ...

Matt's back!... At least for a few episodes before he jumps into the next round of his EMT training, and he brought his always delightful sister, Meg, with him. We decided that a recap of the first presidential debate and the vice president debate would be better than full coverage of either of them because so much time has elapsed since they were originally aired, and we cheated by throwing in SNL's skit recapping the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trumpsterfire. Matt has a small "Wh...

As promised, this is the “best of” Matt Mitchell episode. Matt brings a whole lot to the show. He’s funny, he’s fiery, and he’s got a quick comedic wit that always leaves us laughing. You’ll notice as we move through these clips that the sound quality improves with each one. That’s because they're listed in order of appearance from our earliest episodes to the most recent episodes. We’ve made a whole lot of changes over the last 2 ½ years (created an actual studio recording room, upgraded our mi...

We cover a few different things, including Dan being suspended from Facebook for 24 hours, and a discussion which takes us down the rabbit hole from the starting point of watching a video to an ending point somewhere around talking about old horror movies and Farrah Fawcett. Grant Larimer joins us in-studio on our journey to fill in for Matt who is still busy studying to be an EMT. We know that gaps in releasing shows are bad, so this is the first of a sort-of two-part episode we recorded to ens...

We cover the NBC Commander-In-Chief Forum where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump took the stage for 30 minutes each to answer questions posed by Matt Lauer, as well as questions from the audience.

We were privileged to have former LDS Church member, author of Woven, and new member of the atheist community, Michael Rupp, in-studio with us for an interview. You might remember that Michael had a hard time getting his book published because the initial publisher he signed with refused to put Michael's chosen bio on the book. The bio tipped readers off to the fact that Michael is a gay man by including a line about living in Salt Lake City with his then partner, now husband, and their four dog...
