Zachrilege Cast #194 — Rie Conley

Rie shared her tale of being sexually assaulted by her stepfather and how she was told it was her fault. No surprise that she is no longer a believer. She even took things a step further by marrying a man from Egypt. She still eats pork, but for one specific reason and she's the dungeon master's dungeon master. That's a D&D reference. OK then.

Zachrilege Cast #193 — We Heart Abortion

“So I called him a white supremecist.”

Let’s get straight to the baby murder. On this week’s episode I bring on Amy and Felicia to talk about their abortion debate that was on Right to Reason a week ago. We talk about strategy, how the anti side projects well and what the boys actually taught them.

Zachrilege Cast #192 — Sarah Levin

“You don’t speak up for yourself, someone else will.”

This is the age for activism. The great part about getting active in politics or your community is there are people ready to help. You can talk to your local district representatives for your Senators or you can just meet up. Sarah Levin has been with the Secular Coalition for America for six years, going from intern to Director of Governmental Affairs. We discussed dropping out of Hebrew school, activist burnout and keeping a steady supply of Franks Red Hot sauce.

Zachrilege Cast #191 — Not Another Game of Thrones Recap

Jen Aldrich agreed to come on for a drunken 75 minute ramble about the entire Game of Thrones book and TV series. If you’re not into that sort of things, you are certifiably insane. Or you have a life. What’s that like? She also discussed the ACA/Rationality Rules controversy at the end if you need a little atheist community drama with your tits and dragons.

Zachrilege Cast #190 — Chris Watson

Chris aka Podunk Polymath showed up on a friend’s porch to talk to me about many important things. We discussed beer, the NFL Draft in Nashville, his experience at the American Atheist convention, and as far as I can tell, the first discussion in show history about the burkini.

Zachrilege Cast #189 — Gayle Jordan

Gayle is the executive director of Recovering from Religion and would like to invite you to this year’s RfF Fall Excursion. She talked about running for state senate in Tennessee as an open atheist, and how well the Republican party took her candidacy. She’s done a couple of Ironmen, and yes, the name is important. She went to Law school after her kids were in college because Gayle loves a challenge.

Zachrilege Cast #188 — Ed and Michael Buckner

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.

Zachrilege Cast #187 — Bart Campolo

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.

Zachrilege Cast #186 — Lexi Whittenburg ft. Sexy Brian

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.

Zachrilege Cast #185 — Bryce Blankenagel

“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.
