Returning to the show again today are Callie Wright and Ari Stillman from The Gaytheist Manifesto.

My guest for today is my Facebook friend Rachel Best. She’s a pastor’s kid who is now an out bisexual polyamorous atheist, so today’s episode is going to be about her journey. This week’s episode is a bit like Everyone’s Agnostic, where I basically just ask her questions about her journey. Hopefully Cass Midgley doesn’t sue me for copyright infringement because I want to do more episodes like this.

Today’s episode is another split interview. This time it’s a debate about abortion. On the pro-life side, I have Kristine Kruszelnicki from ProLifeHumanists.org, and on the pro-choice side I have Lauren Nelson from RethinkTheRant.com and Friendly Atheist. First I’ll play a seven-minute interview I did with Kristine at Women in Secularism 4 a few weeks ago, and then Lauren will come on to offer her rebuttal.

My guest for today is Chris Johnson. He is a freelance photographer and author of the book “A Better Life: 100 Atheists Speak Out on Joy and Meaning in a World without God,” which was later made into the documentary “A Better Life: An Exploration of Joy and Meaning in a World without God.” He received his undergraduate degree in film production (along with a minor in religious studies) from Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. His photography has been seen in various outlets, including The New York Times. Today we’re going to talk about his work and how one can find joy and meaning without God.

Today I have two guests. The first Ron Millar, the PAC coordinator for the Freethought Equality Fund. According to his bio, “He researches and interviews political candidates and elected officials for possible endorsement by the FEF PAC. Ron has spent more than thirty years in the Washington DC area working for nonprofit education and advocacy groups, including serving as the associate director of the Secular Coalition for America from 2005 to 2009. Earning a PhD from Virginia Tech, his dissertation explored organizational learning among groups litigating church-state cases before the Supreme Court.” The second is Dan Arel, author of the new book “The Secular Activist.” Dan is a freelance columnist for AlterNet and The Huffington Post. His work has also appeared in TIME Magazine, Salon, OnFaith, American Atheist Magazine and other print and digital publications around the world. Today we’re going to talk about why atheists and secularists should care about the upcoming election.

Today’s episode is a collection of short interviews I did with some of the speakers and attendees of last week’s Women in Secularism 4 conference in Arlington, VA. Women in Secularism is a yearly conference put on by the Center for Inquiry where a diverse group of women talk about what it means to be a secular woman, not just in theory but in practice. This year’s convention featured conversations about why there aren’t many out secular women, what it means to matter, and a heated yet still interesting discussion about the safe space debate. I wasn’t able to interview everyone I wanted to, but I did manage to snag a few great speakers, so today we’re gonna hear from blogger Dr. Ashley F. Miller, American Humanist Association president Rebecca Hale, Yvette d’Entremont the SciBabe, philosopher Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, and ex-Muslim activist Maryam Namazie.
