Fresh AiR – S01:E01 – Atheism and Atheists

Listen Later

Welcome to the first Fresh AiR Podcast!

We got together to do a sound check and after half an hour of laughing and discussing various topics we decided to just hit record and enjoy the conversation!

As such, this show is a little bit of a mish-mash so please forgive the low quality and a few mind blanks haha.


In this show we cover a number of items such as:

  • Who we are and our theological position
  • The various definitions of Atheism, and when they originated
  • Agnosticism
  • Reasons Atheists might debate
  • Popular insults and errors both theists and atheists make e.g. dunning kruger
  • Words changing (including a southpark reference)
  • Behaviours that give atheists a bad name
  • Bias
  • Headline Culture
  • Stupid Comment of the Week

    • We hope you enjoy the show, and regardless of if you did or didn’t, please let us know on the comments below, via social media, or even send a sound clip in to [email protected].

    We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you at the next show!
