The theme of Saturday's Freethought Radio is the Winter Solstice, and it will feature an interview with Tom Flynn,

author of "The Trouble with Christmas," and the song, "Solstice

Tribute," by Dan Barker. As Freethought Radio's solstice treat for

listeners, the show will broadcast an excerpt from Julia Sweeney's

"Letting Go of God" one-woman play, in which the comedian reads the

bible and discovers it isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

Freethinkers Almanac features songwriter Jay Gorney ("Brother, Can You

Spare a Dime?"). A rare song by by blacklisted Gorney celebrating the

Bill of Rights, recorded by freethinker Paul Robeson, will also play.

Freethought Radio is a production of the Freedom From Religion

Foundation, and is co-hosted by Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor of

the Foundation. (MP3, 49 min, 22,4 MB)
