The Secular Perspective

Chad and Amanda get together on the Saturday night before Election Day 2016. We have a few drinks and speculate on what may and may not happen in the days after the election. We do share a couple of stories too. There was a technical issue that happens at about 22:50 in the track that we address as well.

Chad and Amanda get together the night after the final 2016 Presidential Debate and discuss more stuff related to it. WE wrap up with people not tipping and a really strange Christian Sex-ed presentation.

The second half of a late night recording session, Chad and Amanda cover more news stories while starting to get a bit tired and silly.

Tiny and Chad speak of a few news stories but also discuss an article saying that atheism is hopeless and meaningless. Of course we disagree with the author.

Chad and Amanda discuss a variety of topics. Just listen and enjoy. It's Also Talk like a Pirate Day, which we pretty quickly forget about.

* For some reason there is an odd sound to the recording that I could not quite get removed. I apologize if it bugs you as much as it bugs me.

TSP 74: Throw out those Burkini's

France has banned burkini's and we kind of have some issues with it. A woman was refused from a Catholic hospital because of an IUD. We talk about so much more than would fit here.

Chad and Anthony cover a range of stories in Oklahoma, from charities that don't want money from atheists to an exorcism/murder. Also there is a newly discovered planet and a new atheist app out there.

We discuss the irony of an anti-LGBT pastor whose home was flooded do to the storms in Louisiana. There is also a newly discovered Earth-like planet out there.

In a Secular Perspective first, we have a guest host. Chad enlists his friend Brianna to come and talk to us about growing up in an Apostolic Pentecostal Church and how she got out of it. There are no news stories to link to on this one. Just a lot of good conversation to listen to. Enjoy.

* There is a strange underlying sound when we are talking that I could not remove without distorting our voices. Apologies.
