135 - Danielle Muscato Interview with Grant Larimer

Danielle Muscato is the former Public Relations Director for American Atheists. She is a civil rights activist, public speaker, writer, debater, musician, and trans* woman whose recent tweet storm calling out president-elect Donald Trump quickly went viral. She's done a ton of media interviews lately, and we were fortunate to have some time open for her to appear as a guest on this episode of the Godless Rebelution. 

 

Grant Larimer was kind enough to join us in-studio as our guest host this week. He'll also be joining us next week for coverage of several news items and rants.

134 - Jim Helton Interview with Chris Reed

Jim Helton is the President of Tri-State Freethinkers and is the Regional Director in Kentucky for American Atheists. He helped organize the protest at the opening of the "Genocide and Incest Park," (A.K.A. Ken Ham's Ark Park). He and his family have been receiving death threats after calling attention to numerous violations of the separation of religion and government in Grand County schools.  

 

Chris Reed is one of the hosts of the Utah Outcasts podcast. We were happy to have him join us in-studio for the interview and the rest of the show to talk about Donald Trump, the recent attack in Ohio, tuskless elephants, Bryan Fischer, Jim Bakker, and Glenn Beck & David Barton.

133 - The 2016 Election Blame Game with Geoff Linville

How did Hillary Clinton lose to an orange, pussy-grabbing clown? Who can we castigate for allowing this to happen? More importantly, what can we do to make sure this type of thing doesn't happen again? Geoff Linville joins us in-studio to discuss what went wrong with the 2016 election.  

 

This episode was a lot of fun. We went from being angry at neo-Nazi Trump supporters to laughing so hard we were crying.

131 - Nutty Mormon History with Mythrin

Don't let any of your Mormon friends hear this episode - they might start questioning their faith. 

 

Mythrin is one of the moderators for the ex-Mormon subreddit, and he's a veritable cornucopia of weird Mormon history. We were delighted to have him join us in-studio for an interview and rundown of some of the more "interesting" things about the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (A.K.A. the Mormon/LDS Church).

130 - Go Vote!

Ryan and Dan are joined in-studio by Grant Larimer once again to fill your earholes with all things atheist, and attempt to impress upon you the importance of your vote. Along the way, we hear from god-botherers who liken Donald Trump to St. Peter and King David. 

 

This episode is the perfect accompaniment to standing in long voting lines and/or assuaging your existential concerns.

129 - It's Halloween!

Ryan and Dan are in-studio to tell you a couple ghost stories, but don't worry - ghosts aren't real. Matt joins us via pre-recorded segments (and the occasional quote that was mined from old episodes).

 

We offer some advice on how to deal with religious people (including family members) after you leave religion, and we discuss stories from the likes of Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann, the Catholic Church, Ken Ham, Donald Trump, Wayne Allyn Root, Alex Jones, Lance Wallnau, and Jim Bakker.

128 - 3rd Presidential Debate with Grant Larimer

We're joined in-studio by the Purple Dragon (A.K.A. Grant Larimer) for coverage of the third and final presidential debate (thank Jebus).

 

No longer content to sit back while Donald Trump flapped his alternatingly pursed and puckered lips, Clinton handily won this debate. She was calm, prepared, and unafraid of calling Trump out on his bullshit. Trump, on the other hand, was his usual self - boorish, unprepared, ill-spoken,and petulant. We were pleased he didn't sniffle nearly as much during this debate.

 

Next week will be our Halloween episode!

127 - 2nd Presidential Debate with Taylor Grin

Taylor Grin joined us via phone to cover the 2nd Presidential debate. This debate was held only two days after the video was released which shows Donald Trump bragging about sexually assaulting multiple women. It was also marked once again by Trump repeatedly sniffing like a dog whose cocaine-filled chew toy has rolled under the couch.

 

We wanted to get this out as soon as possible, so there are no quote drops, no ads for other shows, and no song at the end. Even with eliminating those elements, the show clocks in at right about three hours long. You're welcome.

 

We'll be covering the third and final debate next week (thank Jebus). Make sure you're registered to vote, and then get your ass to the polls! #FuckTrump

126 - You Got Perioded On (Return of the Matt)

Matt's back!... At least for a few episodes before he jumps into the next round of his EMT training, and he brought his always delightful sister, Meg, with him.

 

We decided that a recap of the first presidential debate and the vice president debate would be better than full coverage of either of them because so much time has elapsed since they were originally aired, and we cheated by throwing in SNL's skit recapping the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trumpsterfire. 

 

Matt has a small "What Matters" segment covering a few things that happened while he was away, Dan recounts an online political argument, Ken Ham is sure to get his followers' houses egged on Halloween, Meg argues that God strips people of free will, Dan blows a gasket while watching a portion of the leaked videos from the LDS Church, Anne Coulter blames atheists for the "Never Trump" movement, and Meg & Ryan confuse everybody while talking about period mist.

125 - What Matters - The Best of Matt Mitchell

As promised, this is the “best of” Matt Mitchell episode. Matt brings a whole lot to the show. He’s funny, he’s fiery, and he’s got a quick comedic wit that always leaves us laughing. 

 

You’ll notice as we move through these clips that the sound quality improves with each one. That’s because they're listed in order of appearance from our earliest episodes to the most recent episodes. We’ve made a whole lot of changes over the last 2 ½ years (created an actual studio recording room, upgraded our mic stands, got windscreens to handle “plosive” words, added some mute buttons to cover background coughing, added some shock mounts, changed our editing process, etc.). 

 

Matt - we miss you, buddy, and look forward to having you back on the show very soon.

 

As always, thanks for listening. Viva La Rebelucion!

124 - Nipple Protrusion Excursion with Grant Larimer: Part Deux

123 - Nipple Protrusion Excursion with Grant Larimer

We cover a few different things, including Dan being suspended from Facebook for 24 hours, and a discussion which takes us down the rabbit hole from the starting point of watching a video to an ending point somewhere around talking about old horror movies and Farrah Fawcett. Grant Larimer joins us in-studio on our journey to fill in for Matt who is still busy studying to be an EMT. 

 

We know that gaps in releasing shows are bad, so this is the first of a sort-of two-part episode we recorded to ensure our listeners wouldn't have to go a few weeks without an episode from us. YOU'RE WELCOME.

122 - Commander-In-Chief Forum with Geoff Linville

Geoff Linville joins us in-studio once again to fill in for Matt who is busy studying to be an EMT. We cover the NBC Commander-In-Chief Forum where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump took the stage for 30 minutes each to answer questions posed by Matt Lauer, as well as questions from the audience.

 

This is a pretty long show, because we also cover the death of Phyllis Schlafly, the LDS Church trying to cover its tracks, candidate for Utah Governor defends his right to hold a fundraiser with potential voters, and Donald Trump's head is in the clouds - literally. Also, we'll be taking a two-week break after the next show while Ryan attends a wedding and Dan goes on his first cruise.

Chris Reed from the Utah Outcasts podcast joined us in-studio to fill in for our favorite misanthrope, Matt, who is busily studying for his EMT course. Prepare to get Kaepernicked as we cover the largest story of the week - San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, refusing to stand for the playing of the National Anthem. Also, the world lost a great man with the death of Gene Wilder; he will be missed.

120 - With Author Michael Rupp - It Gets Better

We were privileged to have former LDS Church member, author of Woven, and new member of the atheist community, Michael Rupp, in-studio with us for an interview. 

 

You might remember that Michael had a hard time getting his book published because the initial publisher he signed with refused to put Michael's chosen bio on the book. The bio tipped readers off to the fact that Michael is a gay man by including a line about living in Salt Lake City with his then partner, now husband, and their four dogs. The publisher "wondered what effect [Michael's bio] would have" on their LDS readers. Michael wasn't about to be forced back into the closet, so he stood firm and nearly lost the book deal entirely - until, that is, his partner put the publisher on blast by creating a press release that went viral.

 

We ride an emotional roller coaster with Michael to cover everything from his upbringing in a very devout LDS family, the mission he served as a member of the LDS Church, his time spent studying at Brigham Young University, coming out as gay to his family, writing his novel, and the abuse he suffered when he tried to get his book published.

 

You can meet Michael during this year's Salt Lake City Comic Con, where he and his co-author will be signing copies of their book!

Bonus Episode 2 - Dr. Richard Carrier on the Intersection of Humanism and Polyamory

Atheists of Utah was fortunate to be able to work with Dr. Carrier to sponsor this event at the downtown Salt Lake City public library while he is moving across the country.

We apologize for the audio quality not being as good as the talk deserves, but the content is very interesting and informative. We have several friends in the polyamory community and thought we knew a lot about their world, but w learned more during this one talk than we have in the last two or three years combined. 

Richard Carrier, Ph.D., is a philosopher and historian with degrees from Berkeley and Columbia, specializing in the contemporary philosophy of naturalism, and in Greco-Roman philosophy, science, and religion, including the origins of Christianity. He blogs and lectures worldwide, teaches courses online at Partners for Secular Activism, and is the author of many books, including his defense of a naturalist worldview in Sense and Goodness without God, his academic case for the non-existence of Jesus in On the Historicity of Jesus, his work on historical methodology in Proving History, his study of ancient science in Science Education in the Early Roman Empire, his responses to 21st century Christian apologetics in Why I Am Not a Christian and Not the Impossible Faith, and an anthology of his papers on the subject of history in Hitler Homer Bible Christ. He has also authored chapters in many other books, and articles in magazines and academic journals, and on his namesake blog, covering subjects from politics and philosophy to feminism and polyamory. 

For more about Dr. Carrier and his work see www.richardcarrier.info.

101 - With Grant Larimer & Kyle Steenblik

The original plan for this week's episode was to cover the Democratic primary debate, but Dan screwed up the schedule because he forgot he had tickets to see Amy Schumer on the same night as the debate.

99 - Atheist & Humanist Services at Lackland AFB

Matt, Dan, and Ryan are joined by Vicki Gettman, Rebekah McGraw, and Scott Smith who tell us all about the fantastic work they're doing to provide atheist and humanist services at Lackland AFB in Texas. They've had months of record-setting attendance for the services they offer in lieu of religious services for people entering the Air Force. They were wonderful guests, and we had a great time learning more about the all-volunteer services they offer to some of our military members. 

 

We also cover quite a few news items, including the latest lunacy from Donald Trump, RFRA laws, and Utah's Governor Herbert signing a law which will force doctors to anesthetize women seeking an abortion after 20 weeks. 

 

Be sure to learn more about the services offered at Lackland and how you can support them by using the links below!

Bonus Episode 1 - With 2 Skeptical Chaps

We're happy to offer our first bonus episode, recorded with Spike and Dan from the London based 2 Skeptical Chaps podcast. We had a lot of fun chatting about politics, geographical names, and the differing views & perceptions some people have about the United States and the United Kingdom.

 

Spike's audio went a bit wonky during the episode, but he put in a lot of work to clean it up as much as possible. There are still a couple rough spots between 1:16:00 - 1:18:00, and 1:21:00 - 1:23:00, but they're not so bad as to be unusable.

98 - Clearing Our Plate and a Puppy Nightmare

This episode is a bit longer than last week because we had a few things we've been wanting to talk about or address, but that keep getting set aside to make room for debates and guests. 

 

We address some comments about episode 95 made by a listener via a blog post you can read here. Because the blog post seemed primarily aimed at Matt, he spent the better part of a week crafting his response during the little bit of spare time he has between work, regular prep for the show, family time, and a freelance art project he's been working on. It's glorious. 

 

We also cover a few news stories, including the recent terrorist attack in Brussels, before Dan relates a nightmare story about the newest furry member of his family.

97 - Sexual Abuse in the LDS Church with Mark Lawrence

If you think the Catholic church has a monopoly on sexual abuse of its adherents, you're sadly mistaken. Mark Lawrence, the founder and director of Restore Our Humanity, joins us in-studio to talk about some of ROH's latest initiatives. Restore Our Humanity is once again blazing a trail to expose rampant sexual abuse within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ROH is also setting up a support network for survivors of sexual abuse at the hands of spiritual leaders within the dysfunctional Mormon religion.

96 - Democratic Primary Debate IV with Taylor Grin

We start this episode with a quick(ish) recap of the March 3 Republican primary debate, which was the most ridiculous of them all. This was the debate where Trump basically said he has a big dick and kept referring to Marco Rubio as "little Marco."

 

Taylor Grin joined us via Skype for complete coverage of the March 9 Democratic primary debate and provided some great insight into some of the things Hillary Clinton was saying.

 

Bernie Sanders came out swinging and delivered quite a few sound bytes that have been picked up by a lot of the major news outlets. We all thought he did a much better job during this debate than he has in any prior debate, and that he handily beat Clinton.

95 - A Troll in Our Midst

It's been a long time since it was just the three of us with no guest and where we're not covering a debate. So it's about time, right?

 

We cover a few news items and talk about a religious troll who decided to offer his wizdumb on a post on our Facebook page. 

 

We'll be covering the Democratic primary debate next week, and we've got a special bonus episode lined up with some friends across the pond. Stay tuned!

94 - GOP Primary Debate VIII

This was, by far, our favorite debate so far, but only because it turned into a total shit-show. The amount of mudslinging was EPIC. 

 

The field has been whittled down to just five Republican Candidates. Taking the stage tonight were Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and Ben Carson. Because Super Tuesday happens next week, we probably won't be seeing Ben Carson (and perhaps John Kasich) on the debate stage again, so we celebrate Carsson's participation by playing a clip of Pastor James Manning's views of the good doctor before we plunge into our debate coverage.

 

None of the candidates did themselves any favors this go-around. The numbers won't shift much, if at all. Any changes in the poll numbers will probably be a dip in Trump's numbers, with the losses being split between Cruz and Rubio. 

 

We also had to admit that we actually learned something from Donald Trump during the debate. We feel dirty now.

93 - With Doug Mesner (A.K.A. Lucien Greaves) II

Doug Mesner (A.K.A. Lucien Greaves), spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, was kind enough to join us via Skype from a sushi bar in Cambridge. He's a great guest, and we had a lot of fun with him both on, and off, air. 

 

We covered a lot of topics, including:

• The Bundy yeehawdists' treatment of the "Lamanites" 
• Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia takes a dirt nap
• Oklahoma is still trying very hard to get the Baphomet statue
• Ellen Lacter is a fraud who contributes to the death and suffering of countless people

90 - Poop Pillows & Filthy Monkeys

Ryan's schedule made him unavailable for this episode, so Megan dropped by the studio to chat with us & record some drops for the show (coming soon!). 

 

We like covering the debates, but it was nice to get back to doing a "regular" show again, full of all kinds of news, including...

89 - GOP Primary Debate VI

It really doesn't feel like we've had five shows since the last Republican primary debate. The good(...?) news is that we'll be skipping the next one. 

 

Again, because the participants in the kids' table event are irrelevant at this point (just ask Rand Paul), we decided to skip that event entirely. We do give a brief overview of the most recent Democratic primary debate, so there's that. 

 

This debate was most notable for a moment between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Cruz tries to bash "New York values," and rather than shout him down, Donald Trumpenstein showed us all that despite the rumors, there's actually a human being under that thing he calls his hair.

 

We also break down (with facts!) some of the more egregious lies spouted by a few of the people on stage - we're looking at YOU, Chris Christie.

 

Ryan won't be with us next week, but he'll be back the following week to chat with our guest, Atheists of Utah President, Felicia Entwistle.

88 - With Geoff Linville

We had a great time with Geoff Linville, a former Mormon, who joined us in-studio to tell us about his de-conversion story and life in Utah as an atheist.

 

We also cover a few news stories, including one where Dan was interviewed to provide an atheist's perspective on the Provo Fire Department and Police Department purchasing commemorative badges featuring the new LDS temple in their city. 

 

American Atheists President, David Silverman, will be joining us in-studio in one month! Be sure to grab a copy of his book, Fighting God: An Atheist Manifesto for a Religious World, so you can send in any questions you'd like us to ask him!
