Episode 378 – Suing the Devil

It is once again time for our annual Christian Movie night!

With McDowell, we had hoped this would involve some delightful […]

Episode 377 – Believing Stupid Things

Our road friend Byron Miller shows up to help us answer the question “why do people believe stupid things?” Not just religion but messed up conspiracy theories, homeopathy and all other manner of stupid things? It turns out there has been some research around what makes people believe stupid things and we delve into a […]

Episode 376 – Ronn’s Mom is Stupid

This week, we have one of our returning Renaissance Festival friends over to talk about his stupid mom. Not really, although it does come up.

Episode 365 – The Perfect Church

This week’s episode was recorded live at CONvergence and please note that the input from the sound board was a little hot so there’s some clipping but believe us, it’s better than the back-up copy we recorded from the house. So anyway, our guest is Laser Malena-Webber from the Doubleclicks and they wanted to talk […]

Episode 362 – Kpop

This week, we are joined by friend of the show Nathan Gerber to talk about Kpop! For those of you unfamiliar with Kpop, he gives us an education on what it is, a lot of the ways it is managed, and he gives a whole lot of suggestions! If you want a place to start, […]

Episode 361 – Qanon

We talk about conspiracy theories on this podcast pretty regularly. This week, we bring our friend Mal Mohn in to talk about one of the newest and weirded conspiracy theories out there – Qanon.

Episode 359 – Horror Podcasts

This week, our friend Ian Bryan joins us to talk about his interest in Horror Podcasts. In specific, we spend a lot of time talking about the No Sleep Podcast, which is well worth checking out if you are tired of listening to us atheist nerds. Ian also talks about what draws him to horror […]
