This episode covers the second part of our chat. Here, we get into the nitty gritty of our differences. I think its important because, to casual listeners all IDW criticism may appear to be similar, but actually there are some pretty fundamental differences even within the critical space.

I haven’t had a guest on in a while on the show, I’ve been so busy doing these deep dives and monologues on unsavoury idw characters. So, I thought maybe a change would be nice. In this episode, I chat with Chris Kavanagh (@C_Kavanagh) of the Decoding the Gurus podcast (@Guruspod). I’ve split our convo into two episodes, because it was looong. This part covers our conversation about Sam Harris & Chris’ recent chat with him.

Here’s part 2 of the previous Panel episode I posted on here, discussing ‘merge-gate’ and the unexpected defensive response to a Salon article claiming that New Atheists merged with the far right, from some in the ‘progressive’ corners of the atheist scene. My lovely panel includes Chrisiousity, Vadim Newquist of the Creationist Cat YT channel, Daniel Harper of the I Don’t Speak German Podcast, & also Youtuber Godless Cranium. —-If you enjoy the show pls consider supporting via Patreon.com/NiceMangos —-Links:Salon article: https://www.salon.com/2021/06/05/how-the-new-atheists-merged-with-the-far-right-a-story-of-intellectual-grift-and-abject-surrender/Chris Stedman’s Vice Article on Atheists veering towards the alt right Too Many Atheists Are Veering Dangerously Toward the Alt-RightMy panel episode from 2018 with Chris Stedman & James Croft: https://soundcloud.com/politeconversations/pc-panel-14-are-too-many-atheists-veering-dangerously-towards-the-alt-rightEmoji references are in relation to this thread I linked in the previous panels shownotes: https://twitter.com/nicemangos/status/1406659660996825091?s=21——Find the panel here:@chrisiousity (twitter) https://youtube.com/c/chrisiousity @HeyitsVadim (Twitter)https://youtube.com/user/creationistcat@GodlessCranium (Twitter) https://youtube.com/c/GodlessCranium@DanielEHarper (Twitter) @IdsgPod (Twitter)https://idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/
