We were delighted to have American Atheists' President, David Silverman, on the show to talk about the 2018 American Atheists convention in Oklahoma City, along with a whole bunch of other stuff including: Ryan is getting ready to sell his house Matt is nearly done with his tiling job Dan fixed a couple toilets and has been installing smart switches all over the house Recap of the 2018 Darwin Day event in Salt Lake City Dan is a terrible companion sometimes We're tired of hearing that other athe...

Ryan had his fill of driving for the day, so he joined Matt & Dan via Skype to talk about: Bryan Fischer's definition of "evangelical" A London shitbindle steeped in far-right anti-muslim ideas Gun deaths are now the number three cause of death for US children Should you spank your children? Voodoo has some seriously weird ideas about disciplining children South Africa is running of out water This is the first year in a very long time that Dan hasn't watched the State of the Union address De...

Lucien Greaves had to reschedule with us at the last minute (he'll be on the show again very soon!), so Atheists of Utah's Kevin Neumann joined Dan, Ryan, and Matt in-studio to talk about the upcoming conference for the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) with Sarah Ponto Rivera, Grey Faction's Director, and Chalice Blythe, National Director for The Satanic Temple's After School Satan Club.

We were delighted to speak with James Huber, author of "Kissing Hank's Ass." James' parable has been used as the basis for several different short films which expose (in a very humorous way) some of the problems with religious beliefs. You should definitely watch the "Kissing Hank's Ass" video before listening to the show. The version with the best production quality is probably this one from 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaFZQBb2srM We also talk about Trump's "shithole" comment, the mis...

We've talked about GMOs and genetic engineering in the past, but we take a much deeper dive into the subject this week to answer listener questions surrounding what should be a non-controversial subject. Patrons also get a lot more information about what Matt has been dealing with during his absence.

Is it too late for a Three Wise Men-themed title? Once again, Grant Larimer had nothing better to do on a Friday night than to eat pizza, drink alcohol, and talk about shit with Ryan and Dan - but that sounds like a goddamned good time anyway, right? Anyway, Dan is getting over a head cold, we talk about Al Franken, GMOs, Sweet Cakes, Roy Moore, libertarianism, and a Utah teacher who got fired for... well, shit... we're not sure why they were fired.

We can hardly believe it's been a whole year since we didn't become better people. Oh, well. Maybe next year. It's the last show of the year, and with literally negative fifteen minutes notice, Grant Larimer was kind enough to fill in for Matt again this week as we cover the top ten (or so) posts made by Right Wing Watch this year.

Christopher Hitchens died six years ago last week. Out of The Four Horsemen, he was Dan's personal favorite. Matt wasn't able to join us tonight, but fear not! The Purple Dragon (AKA Grant Larimer) joined us in-studio to talk about a bunch of things going on in the news. Patreon subscribers get a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at the show this week.

Did you have a good holiday break? We certainly hope so! We were supposed to record on Tuesday, but Ryan is sick and Matt was unavailable. With all that happened in the news today, it turned out to be a good thing Dan wasn't able to record until this afternoon. This episode deals with a lot of pretty heavy stuff - from the murder-suicide committed by an atheist activist early this week, to today's news of Michael Flynn pleading guilty to lying to the FBI. Dan flies solo for an entire show for th...

Is free will an illusion? Is the illusion of free will an illusion itself? Tune in to hear Matt and Dan expand more on their thoughts about free will. Matt finally decided what his position is. Ryan is glamping in Goblin Valley, and we'll be taking a break next week for Thanksgiving, but we'll all be back in the studio in a couple weeks. We hope you have a great holiday!

Ryan is back this week, and we had a bit of a disagreement on the 40-foot cross that was erected in Maryland as a memorial for American soldiers who died during World War I.

Megan Kennedy joined us in-studio to talk about demons, possession, ghosts, hauntings, scary movies, history, and culture - but I had to cut off the title of the show somewhere . Chris Reed, from the Utah Outcasts podcast, also joined us again in-studio to fill is as co-host while Ryan is out doing some film work. Also, Matt went to church last Sunday & tells us about that experience. Patreon subscribers get 30 minutes of extras this week where we talk about how ridiculous ghosts are. Show L...

This is a free, short, bonus episode we're releasing as a bit of a primer for Megan's upcoming appearance on the show. She'll be joining us for our Halloween episode, where we'll be talking about various Halloween traditions and talking a bit more about this presentation she recently delivered for Atheists of Utah as part of her Religious Education Series, titled "The Crucible of Goodness."

It was kind of a last minute thing, but we were able to record Lucien Greaves' recent presentation at Utah State University. Huge thanks goes out to the members of USU's Secular Student Alliance who set up this event! We recorded the presentation and then sat down for a brief interview with Lucien before heading out to the after-party event. Lucien was great, as always, and covered the following topics during his talk: Reproductive Rights case in Missouri going to Missouri Supreme Court Trump's ...

The President of Atheists of Utah, Summer Devotchka, joined us in-studio for an interview.

Ryan is working a bit of overtime, so we were happy to have The Purple Dragon (A.K.A. Grant Larimer) join us to fill in for Ryan as co-host for this episode. Exclusively for our Patreon patrons, we have a difficult discussion about white privilege. What is it, where does it come from, and what do you think of when you hear the term?

FINALLY! Sheesh! Did you miss us? It's been nearly two weeks since we posted a show. This would have come out earlier, but Dan had an editing snag that cost him an entire day. At least a lesson was hammered home yet again. C'est la vie... Dan met Thomas Westbrook at the 2017 American Atheists convention in South Carolina. He's a great guy who owns the Holy Koolaid channel on YouTube. It's full of wonderful educational videos surrounding skepticism and atheism, each one presented in a condensed, ...

Remember news about the Satanic invocation offered in Colorado recently? Well, we were lucky enough to have the person who offered the invocation in-studio with us this week, along with his wife. Andrew and Myrna are both ex-Jehovah's Witnesses who now identify as Satanists aligned with The Satanic Temple. They're also two of the nicest people you would ever care to meet. They're both a bit shy and unassuming, funny, generous, caring, and they make one of the cutest damned couples (no pun intend...

Instead of spending time with our families, we recorded this episode on the Pie & Beer Day (Pioneer Day, if you're lame). But, since it was a holiday and Dan has a ton to do before the annual Atheists of Utah camping trip, the episode is a bit shorter than usual. Along the way to Ryan demoting Matt twice, and promoting Dan once, we cover the following items: AIG "scientists" use the Big Book of Bullshit to talk about how deluded Flat-Earth believers are Mormon teachings about Jesus, Lucifer,...
