Zachrilege Cast #219 — Matthew Maxon

Matthew Maxon is the co-host of Odd Atheist Friends. Yes, it’s coming back. Hey, if you are itching for new content, you can re-binge listen to their 73 episodes to date. OAF is Matthew and Erik are a white straight veteran former fundie and a trans man who found true podcast co-host love online. Ask about their ass tattoos. We talked about the military, saying goodbye to a podcaster friend and just kind of rambled on a Sunday morning. I regret not asking about Chicago-style pizza.

Zachrilege Cast #217 — Rob Ray

It’s Rob’s third show appearance. He’s here this week to talk about his year plus in Antarctica. And you hear me struggle to say Antarctica correctly. Rob found electrician work down there, spent a year and plans to return again in September. What about the penguins? Is it really that cold? What is it like podcasting from a closet 750 miles from the South Pole?

Zachrilege Cast #216 — Geoff Cooper

Geoff Cooper recently celebrated his 1st anniversary of Blue Collar Heathen. With coffee. Mr. Cooper is a paramedic by night, so naturally we discussed the current health crisis with someone who's "in the field". We also discussed his religious upbringing, how studying Roman and Greek Gods made him turn away the Christian one. He's taken on Thomas Aquinas, a fellow youtuber called Blue Collar Catholic, and he has a different take on taxing churches.

Zachrilege Cast #215 — Thomas Westbrook

He’s the creator of dozens of fact-packed Holy Kool Aid videos on Youtube with 112,000 subscribers and counting. Thomas Westbrook decided to give it a go being a full-time content creator and he’s succeeded wildly. Now he’s back after a trip to Israel and from that has taken a dive into Biblical history, Old Testament style. I don’t mean he’s genociding people and getting lost for 40 years. He’s studying the… oh, never mind. We talked about his Nothing Fails Like Bible History series, how hard it is to die from hail, and content creation in the age of social distancing.

Zachrilege Cast #214 — John C. Snider

He started American Freethought Podcast in 2007. There must have been five podcasts at the time so I’d say a lot has changed in the interim. We’re almost 300 episodes in and John’s interviewed a ton of atheist leaders, authors, and just plain awesome people. He recently went to a Baptist congregation to talk about being a nonbeliever, and that’s the kind of dialogue we don’t get a lot these days. Let’s hear about the Atlanta community, getting out of being a Baptist, and making a show on his own. I’ll be a guest on his podcast shortly.

Sure, everyone wants to talk to that hunk Kevin Francis, but what about the ladies of Left at the Valley? I had on Nancy, Kirstin and Kristina to talk about how they got on the show, the divvying up of segments, religious backgrounds and getting up early to record a podcast.

She's also an activist, starting the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition, a winner of Davidson County Democratic Woman of the year, the first black trans woman to be elected to a delegate to a major party convention.

Zachrilege Cast #211 — Nick Fish

American Atheists had a tough choice to make in September of 2018 when looking for a new President. They went for an internal candidate who had been working in activism/secularism/politics for the last decade in Nick Fish. He's moved around the country to be where the activism is. He's settled into New Jersey but will be in Phoenix this April at the American Atheists national convention. It's the easiest convention to remember when it is. Easter weekend. See, atheists usually have not much to do that weekend other than watch Christians perform pagan fertility rites. In any case, the conference is coming up so if you can attend, you should. If you can't make it, you always can get involved because AA is very much a volunteer organization and if you haven't heard, the evangelicals are going wild in state legislatures.

Zachrilege Cast #210 — Dave Warnock

Dave had already shed his religious upbringing, losing a community and a lot of his family, before he got his ALS diagnosis last February. Ever since he’s been Dying Out Loud. We talked about his superhero origin story, how to live when you are dying, traveling, and building new community.
