I'm very grateful that British Muslim apologist Subboor Ahmad came on the show. Subboor is a debater, writer, and podcaster who engages topics in philosophy, atheism, and evolutionary biology from a staunchly Islamic perspective. He has a master's degree in philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London, and he focuses on critiquing evolution and atheism while traveling globally to teach Muslims how to articulate Islam to non-Muslims.

Dave Silverman remains the most uncompromising atheist I've ever met (coming from me, that's quite the statement), and we've been friends for over a decade. Even when we've been on opposite sides of culture-war issues, we've never traded a harsh word.

In this conversation, we talk about why identitarian leftists are unwilling to defend their beliefs, the Atheist movement, #MeToo, and more.

Matt Thornton is one of my closest friends. We have, as Aristotle describes, a friendship of virtue—one I'm profoundly grateful for. It was a genuine pleasure to sit down with Matt and discuss violence, Jew hatred, and the strange idea that has gained so much traction lately: "Silence is violence."

I had the opportunity to ask every question I've ever had about astronaut health, and then some more on top of those!

I love science fiction (fantasy's a distant second), but reading fiction always gnaws at me with guilt. That changed after talking with Clay Greene, Assistant Professor of Literature at the University of Austin (UATX).

Clay dismantled my doubts, proving literature is far more than an escape. It is ammunition for the War. By helping me reflect on some of my favorites, Joe Haldeman's The Forever War and Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Clay changed my view. Fiction tackles civilizational woes directly, and it is one of the many things worth fighting and dying for. Thanks to our conversation, I'm dusting off my sci-fi stack.

James Klug and I had wide-ranging conversation at the Center for Inquiry in Los Angeles. James is behind some of the most viral clips that expose ideological inconsistencies on the left and right, though these have targeted inconsistencies across the political spectrum, including the identitarian left. We talk about immigration, left vs right beliefs, and more.
