Becky, Josh, and Meredith decline to pray for Hurricane victims, say grace before meals, or insist on the pledge of allegiance. Instead, we laugh at a scepter-bearing Prophetess and bemoan politicians’ calls for godly intercession. Also: don’t marry your laptop.

This week, Colton and Becky welcome Sam Mulvey into the studio to discuss the personal history of an obscure atheist. In the second half, Becky and Sky continue the discussion with Sam, moving to politics and the Nation’s Pledge.  

Becky and Josh welcome Autumn to the studio to talk about gender neutral cabins at Camp Quest NorthWest. We also pick apart Trump’s awful Phoenix speech and unconscionable pardoning of Joe Arpaio. CALL TO ACTION: Donate to Humanist Disaster Recovery’s fund for Hurricane Harvey assistance.

Becky’s still on summer vacation, but half the country’s kids are back to school. What’s this mean in states that try to obliterate or obfuscate evolution from the curriculum?? And what the heck happened to our country while Becky was away for a week?  Maybe it’s the eclipse…

This week, Josh and Wes join Sam to talk about things that are not okay in various types: The violence in Charlottesville, a war-mongering president, and Sam himself.
