We start with 15 minutes of Kelly Helton. Kelly is the 13-year-old daughter of Jim Helton and you’ve probably seen her speak on equality, science, and atheism around the country. If she can do it, well, you might not be able to do it but she’s inspiring.

Jim Helton is the National Field Organizer of American Atheists. He used the ACES model (listen to find that one out) to develop a local organization called the Tri-State Freethinkers that challenges local lawmakers and most famously took on Ken Ham’s Ark Park. Where does American Atheists go post David Silverman? They’re already on the way.

We're at high odds that I'll end this episode by apologizing to a Canadian. Cory Johnston is the co-host of the Brainstorm Podcast and (deep breath) the Hardcore Skeptic, Skeptic Voices and Positively Skeptical. Sense a theme? We talked about his four podcasts, how Canada got to have a real left-wing political party, and how has the atheist community change since podcasting became part of it.

Larry is the man who yells at news. He's 13 episodes in, bringing on his favorite podcasters to share their favorite bad news stories. We talked about growing up non-religious, what it's like to make last-minute guest requests (can't relate) and how the show might change in the future.

In the never-ending battle of good and evil, Deborah Smith and Jeanne Ikerd can be both. We discussed sexism in the atheist community, will they grace us with a show or shows in the future, and when women lose agency in an attempt to create the perfect world.

Jerry, Jeff and Don are the Godless Heathens. These fine gents met north of Atlanta and got together to talk about the atheist community and whatever crosses their minds. They are also fans of the beer so we got along famously. Note that this was my first “live” podcast, so we were all in the same room. We talked about the show, the current state of “airing of grievances” and their individual religious backgrounds.
