Ed Buckner is the former American Atheist president and reminds me that he’s a former not current board member of the Atlanta Freethought Society. Michael is his son, never got into religion and is a board member of the Atlanta Freethought Society. We talked about local groups, their book and how the separation of church and state is always a timely topic.

If you're wondering where the bald white dudes have gone in the atheist community, I have the ultimate example here. Bart Campolo is the host of Humanize Me, a podcast more than 400 episodes in the making. He's also the author of Why I Left/Why I Stayed, a discussion on Christianity with his father Tony. I also saw him tear up the stage at Nanocon last weekend. Let's talk about how much of a conference you miss when you are performing, traveling the atheist/secular circuit, being a humanist chaplain and how to create that local secular group of your dreams.

Lexi talks about coming out twice, helping to run a conference, co-hosting a podcast, being unemployed, having a smoke alarm battery beeping for the entire episode (ok, just half), why is Sexy Brian (his new official name) shirtless and pantless (non video people, so sorry), and will there be conference beers? At Nanocon, there will be conference beers.

“Mormon history is just fun.” As much as I wanted to get away from Bryce’s many shows and his Mormon study, it’s a fascinating subject and we keep coming back to it. We also talk politics, beer, and who has the best seer stone.

I attended my nephew’s confirmation at a Catholic church last week and since I failed to guest I talked about it. This week I learned about the Sacred Heart of Jesus but I didn’t get to the bottom of the cool lasers of love.

Cuck! Soy boy! Sorry, just giving the haters some talking points. Steve has reviewed so many Christian apologist books that I’m surprised his hat size hasn’t shrunk. He is the proprietor of the Steve Shives YouTube channel, your one-stop shop if you like rants about politics, social justice discussions, talking to stuffed animals, and movie review. And a boatload of Star Trek. I only asked one Trekkie question, but the goal was to get a “Steve Shives 101” for the 12 people in the atheist/skeptic community who don’t already have an opinion on him.

Zack Ford isn’t quite the unicorn the Bible promised us, what with his making a full-time living in journalism and getting to be an activist to boot. Zack talked about his circuitous route to getting a plum gig at ThinkProgress, why conferences are important even when they lose that new conference smell and what he really thinks about Rent.
