Today’s episode is my NaNoCon presentation “How to Avoid Activist Burnout.” The audio you are about to hear is the 20 minute opening talk and my closing words at the end. What you won’t hear is the discussion questions I asked the audience to discuss among themselves because I didn’t want to put people’s voices online without permission. But overall people said they enjoyed my workshop, and I hope you will do the same.

My guests for today are Thomas Smith and Aaron Rabi, hosts of the podcast Philosophers in Space. It’s a new show where Aaron of Embrace the Void and Thomas of Serious Inquiries Only explore philosophical concepts using sci-fi shows and movies. Today I have them on the show to not only talk about the podcast, but also to ask them some philosophical sci-fi questions of my own.

Returning to the show today is Stephanie Zvan. She’s helping put together the second Secular Women Work conference, which will be held in Minneapolis from August 24th to the 26th of this year. Today I have her back on the show to talk about the upcoming conference, plus how the mainstream atheist movement can create safer spaces for attendees in the wake of Lawrence Krauss.

As a head’s up, we will discuss rape and sexual misconduct in the atheist movement, so listener discretion is highly advised. But it’s a conversation that needs to be had besides just plugging awesome upcoming conferences.

My guests for today are Amy with a Y and Ami with an I from the Secular Soup podcast. Secular Soup is a new podcast where two self-described blueberries floating in a bowl of tomato soup talk about atheism, feminism, politics, parenting, and whatever else they feel like talking about. Today I have them on the show to talk about the podcast, their back stories, and why they hate Tom and Cecil from Cognitive Dissonance so much.

She’ll be co-presenting a workshop at this year’s Creating Change conference about asexuality, so I’ve got her on the show to talk about ace visibility in both the atheist community and the LGBTQ community.
