Episode 234 – Fuck 2016
Most folks felt 2016 was a shit show of a year. We pretty much agree. For our first episode of 2017, we take a look back at the horror of 2016 and, yes, we finally talk about the election for a little while. Not long. It is likely we’ll have a great many more opportunities […]
Episode 233 – Woo
This week, we are joined by frequent guest Pat Wick, who wanted to talk about woo. What is “woo,” you ask? Well rationalwiki tells us it is a “term for pseudoscientific explanations.” So stuff like homoeopathy, acupuncture, and magnet bands. Basically all sorts of bullshit stuff that doesn’t work but people want to sell you anyway. We […]
Episode 232 – Xmas Movies
With Christmas just around the corner, we take an episode to discuss our favorite movies about the best secular holiday around! We know – a lot of people don’t think it is a secular holiday but those of us without religion know that Christmas love everyone, no matter what they believe! We have a good […]
Episode 231 – Elementary Boners
Our geeky units are engorged and we need to podcast some relief! This week, Tim and Molly are both taking long, hard looks at some television shows and Nick is talking about an operation. We don’t want to spoil the episode but Nick’s operation is super appropriate given this is a geeky boner episode. Wink […]
Episode 230 – The Faithless Feminist
This week, we are joined my remote guest Karen Garst to discuss her book “” We had a really great conversation about why she put the book the book together and about many of the women who contributed their stories. Please note that on this particular recording, we encountered some audio issues on our end. […]
Episode 226 – Election Day
This week’s episode is all about election day! If you haven’t voted yet, you should go do it. Since we recorded a week ago, we don’t know how things look now but hopefully we are on the way to a Not Donald Trump presidency (edit: FUUUUUUUUUUUCK). If we aren’t, well, shit. We talk a little […]
Episode 225 – Jew-Ish
This week, we are joined by our friend Nathan Gerber to talk about how his divorced parents used religion as a tool in custody disputes. Nathan’s father was Jewish and his mother was Lutheran so he was raised both – depending on which house he was in. Although he apparently wasn’t told he couldn’t have […]
Episode 224 – Geologically Imminent
This week’s episode was recorded live at The Phoenix theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our guest was Jennifer Menken from the Bell Museum and she joined us to talk about the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service. Unfortunately, she didn’t do much talking because Tim wouldn’t shut up. Hopefully we can get Jennifer back to talk […]
Episode 223 – Harry Potter Boners
It has been a while since we’ve taken a good, hard look at our latest geeky boners! Nick is finally getting around to reading a book series the rest of us have already read (perhaps you can guess which one that might be). Molly is reading a book series she read a long time ago. […]
Episode 222 – Home Schooling
This week, we are joined by Vanessa and Jeremy Messersmith to talk about their experiences with Christian home schooling. Both of them grew up in fairly conservative Christian households and spent most of their lives being home schooled. The three of us tried to toss our pre-conceived notions of home schooling out the window but […]
