Naked Diner

Russell Glasser is the current president of the Atheist Community of Austin and one of several regular hosts of the weekly online series The Atheist Experience. Jack and Andy invite Russell into the diner to discuss secularism, public outreach, atheism, religion, activism and more.

You can find more Russell on episodes of The Atheist Experience and as a co-host on the ACA’s podcast The Non-Prophets.

**PROGRAMMING NOTE** You may notice at the end of the show we talk about doing extra tape for Patreon only content … as you may or may not have heard Andy has decided to leave the show and we’re going to wind down the Patreon so ignore that and don’t become a Patreon patron … but without it I didn’t have an ending.-Jack**

Nick Posey is a good friend of the show and former co-host on two of Jack’s previous shows The Left Hemispheres Podcast and The Lost Hominids Podcast. He was also a semi-regular on Barely Domesticated. Since then he has been heavily active in the workers rights movement, so we decided he was just the guy to come into the diner to discuss what the hell happened with this year’s election and how we can all start to move forward from here.

Happy Halloween!

This week Andy and Jack welcome Finn Rezz, organizer for The Satanic Temple-Portland, to talk about the political climate in Portland Oregon, the Satanic Temple’s After School Satan Program, atheist religion, language, activism, and more. It’s a very wide ranging conversation and we had a lot of fun.

Production note: The audio gets better after the midroll ad, Finn was nice enough to send me his audio on a separate track but missed the first bit of the show, not a big deal. Just letting you know. (Between you and me, things like that are usually how the midroll placement gets determined).

Want to find out more about TST Portland? Their website is http://www.satanicportland.org, They’re at TSTPDX on Twitter and Instagram, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tstpdx/

Roel is the erstwhile proprietor of the World of Ro Podcast and (though we somehow manage to completely forget to mention it in the episode) one of the board members of the group behind the popular twitter hashtag #PodernFamily which is a great resource for finding and following a bunch of really terrific shows (including ours!).

You may remember, if you follow our goings on, that Jack has been on Ro’s show twice. But this is the first time we’ve had Ro in the guest chair and we had a great time talking shop about the podcasting craft, juggling schedules, guests, and so much more. Also, go ahead and subscribe to World of Ro now because in addition to us taping with Ro, after our show we did a second taping with Ro in the driver’s seat that will be hitting his feed later this week.

You can also find Ro on twitter https://twitter.com/RoelSantosJr and more about his show on the show’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/WorldofRo/

Early Release! Why? Because our guest, comedian Sam Slade ,worked on both of Obama’s campaigns and we decided to put it out a few hours early so it diner patrons can have a chance to hear all our hot takes on the current political situation ahead of the Clinton/Trump town hall debate.

Sam is a Texas comedian and political activist. We had a great time with Sam, he’s funny, politically astute, and based on that we decided the best thing to do is to just go ahead and put this out now.

You can find Sam on his Facebook http://facebook.com/samsladecomedy and on his twitter http://twitter.com/thesamslade

Also, we’ve decided, given the situation, that use of the P word does count for our http://Livethroughthis.org swearjar campaign to raise money for suicide prevention awareness. So given everything that’s happened in this last news cycle we end up donating a fair chunk of change to Live Through This.
