Ep#45 – David Silverman – American Atheists

Leave a comment

President of American Atheists David Silverman (@MrAtheistPants) makes his debut on The #GSPodcast.  He explains how he became an atheist at just six years of age, and how that experience led him to activism.  He spills the beans on this years Atheist Convention in Memphis, with keynote speaker Ayaan Hirsi Ali! We also take the time to discuss his experiences of being in the belly of the beast (Fox News Studios), details on his upcoming book and his ‘ATHE1ST’ license plate.

David also issues a t-shirt related task for my American listeners and educates me on Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

Ep#44 – Ex-Jehovah’s Witness Elder – Mike Bigelow

8 comments

I’m lucky to be joined by Mike Bigelow on The #GSPodcast this week. Mike is a former Jehovah’s Witness elder of 18 years. He talks about the difficulties growing up in a Jehovah’s Witness’ household, going door to door as a child, escaping the ideology and he’ll explain some of the dogmas surrounding things such as blood transfusions and birthdays. Mike also tells us the cost his enlightenment has had on his family dynamic. I also take a few minutes to share my experience of being an audience member in the recent broadcast of ‘The Big Questions’.

4 comments

Many of you may have read about the father required to take his children to Catholic mass by a judge as part of a divorce settlement.  The very father himself, Anonymous Dr Steve (@ChurcAtGunpoint) joins me on The #GSPodcast this week.  He’ll be telling me all about how this came to be – and the hopes he has for getting some answers.  We also talk about his atheism, scepticism and how our approach to the problem of Islam differs slightly.  You can view and sign a petition on Change.org to help Steve’s cause.
