Left At The Valley

We thought we'd try something different today, we usually have a guest and discuss various topics but it has ben brought to our attention that our listeners might not know much about us. In a bid to show that you, an atheists, are NOT alone. Join us in sharing our various stories and how it all came together to become LATV.

We are also joined by a former co-host Tyler Legare of the So You Think You're A Skeptic show

In this powerful episode, we interview a true survivor: The incredible Nathan Phelps, son of the infamous Fred Phelps, patriarch of the equally infamous Westboro baptist church. Nate takes us a highly emotional and powerful testimony of his childhood within the christian fundamentalists and his courageous escape from abuse. We can only hope his tale helps others.

In what will turn out to be part one of an ongoing conversation, the crew welcomes Luke Fevrin of the EdmontonAtheists as he takes on the Alberta school system after his kids suffer discrimination due to their lack of belief. Luke's family struggled to find acceptance and their story is rather shocking. It's the kind of story you'd expect out of Alabama, not Alberta

and Kevin Rants about troglodytes attacking the LGBTQ community and a cowardly anonymous letter of homophobic propaganda...

It's our favorite time of the year, a time where we let our hair down, gather around the virtual campfire and tell ghost stories. We are also joined by scholar extraordinaire Andrea Garatschun who brings a citical eye to the monster under the bed of theists: The Devil

This spooky episode is sure to give you goosebumps and entertain. From Edgar allen Poe's The Raven, a haunted airline, a creepy wishing well, a friendly canadian ghost and a revenge from beyond the grave, we have it all.

Enjoy

Join us for a rather different show today, we ask: What the Heck is a Brony? We welcome our old friend Aaron Bayes of CFI as he comes to explain the brony phenomenon. The hasbro company started a My Little pony show back in the 80's to promote the sale of the toys, who knew it would develop a cult following?

Nancy mesmerizes us with a typewriter race in This Day in History,

Scott and kevin are holding the fort today as the ladies are absent but that won't deter them from welcoming Joep (pronounced Yoop) the Vegan. Hailing from the netherlands, he explains why he feels veganism is the only ethical way to a healthy and socially conscious way of living. Is he right? Did we make a mistake in our food industry? Have Joep take you through fascinating facts like even in politics, there are parties helping the animals

No This day in history, instead we look at unlucky no 13

and we talk about the horrible Vegas shooting

Join the crew as they welcome legendary evolutionary biologist, Dr Jerry Coyne. The professor gives us his view on why evolution is true, the tribulations of teaching science today and why the religious fight so hard to deny the obvious.
