Zachrilege Cast

Once I had Hemant on, I had to complete my The Friendly Atheist podcast set. Jessica convinced Hemant to start a podcast and they have been happily recording every week. We discuss the transition of the show from strictly interview based to story based, how she started a podcast with her husband, the critical issue of who is super straight, and what it’s like to record a God Awful Movies episode.  Links https://jessicabluemkegreiff.com/about/ https://friendlyatheistpodcast.com/ https://greiff.podbean.com/ https://twitter.com/jessbluemke Episode of Jessica on God Awful Movies https://www.stitcher.com/show/god-awful-movies/episode/292-the-god-question-82605842 Hasan Abi talking about recent shootings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdixuCBdUYI The Daily on how America got here on gun control and how Joe Biden has been at the center for decades https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/24/podcasts/the-daily/colorado-atlanta-mass-shootings-gun-control.html Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachril

With a rare opportunity for secularism to make big gains in America, we have one organization that can help. Casey Brinck is the Director of Policy and Government Affairs for the Secular Coalition for America. We talked about his religious upbringing, being an atheist in a foxhole and being an atheist in Republican congressional staff.    Secular.org https://twitter.com/seculardotorg?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://twitter.com/caseybrinck https://www.facebook.com/SecularCoalition/ https://www.instagram.com/secular_coalition/?hl=en   Live read: Hasan Piker's youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hR37tDGG0U   Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege  

So he sold his soul but that’s not totally accurate, and he did win on Jeopardy but he’s not the best trivia nerd and he doesn’t do karaoke. What does Hemant Mehta do? Sometimes he regrets creating the Friendly Atheist tag but it has stuck from visiting churches in the 2000s (first decade) to his podcasting/youtubing/blogging life to 2021.  Hemant links: Links https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgjnUBCB9xbUXQfMg0pd8A/videos https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/category/podcast/ https://twitter.com/hemantmehta   Live Read: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa1Tgv9Rq4s Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege

Chris returns and Lyman returns (eventually) to talk black ice, the Biden administration, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and the Capitol insurrection. Which state is meaner and or dumber, Tennessee or Georgia?

This week I brought back Dustin Williams of Atheist Nomads. We talk about the show, the upcoming 400th episode, his run through co-hosts, growing up 7th Day Adventist and the Boise atheist scene.    http://atheistnomads.com/ https://twitter.com/atheistnomads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq8fIECSB9U   Live Read https://soundcloud.com/edgeofsports/natalie-weiner-on-the-failures-of-sports-white-feminism

It's a rare fourth appearance for Bryce as we talk about the Road to Carthage. What do you do when it's time to take a break from a podcast to do an even more daunting project? How do we compare Joseph Smith to Donald Trump?

Jeanne and Deborah return for the "normalcy" of the first week of a Biden administration. We only mention the fact that our former President is in the same state as Deborah twice, three times tops. Why is she drinking a Bud Light? All will be explained.   Deborah’s guest appearance on Freethought in Florida https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/freethought-in/035-2021-fla-legislative-exAHm1ZOcSo/   Edge of Sports link: https://soundcloud.com/edgeofsports/taking-a-trip-with-bill-spaceman-lee Contrapoints link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gDKbT_l2us Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege

It was so nice to chat with Mandisa again. I’ve been so used to seeing her at conferences that it will take a virtual one for us to “meet up” this upcoming weekend. We talked about BN’s 10th anniversary, whether she’s had more pushback from secular people or religious ones, the recent coup, and karaoke.  https://blacknonbelievers.com/ Join the BN 10th anniversary celebration (January 16-17) https://blacknonbelievers.com/bns10th2021/ The prequel, episode 203  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_YsHDas9ZQ https://twitter.com/mandy0904 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1mxD1utNjQd2-Ia_bWdDwA https://twitter.com/bnonbelievers Live Read (clickbaity thirst trap) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NArGLGKeCy0 https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-the-daily-zeitgeist-28516718/ Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege

Cory Johnston is the former co-host of Brainstorm Podcast and Hardcore Skeptic. You can't keep a good podcaster down so now he's back with four shows. The one we talked about this week was The Mind of a Skeptical Leftist. We talked about him interviewing Robert Evans and some of his political leanings plus some of the downfall of the atheist community. Oh and Cory has the strangest beer ever consumed in show history.  Cory Links https://twitter.com/HardcoreSkeptic https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/skeptarchy-skeptarchy-gx12ilbzyFp/ https://anchor.fm/skepticalleftist https://open.spotify.com/show/6QCD0cYVdPjfzwavniTwfO https://open.spotify.com/show/5cY1mp1te0eaQXAlyxNW0o https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist   Robert Evans links https://twitter.com/iwriteok https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/ Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zach

Jeremiah Camara has been studying the black church for decades. His most recent creative endeavor is Holy Hierarchy, a documentary looking into how Christianity helped to embed racism into the American fabric. We talked about his early attempts to get the holy spirit, his time in seminary after becoming a nonbeliever and some themes behind Holy Hierarchy.   http://jeremiahcamara.com/   Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege  

The night before the election, I chatted about where I've been the past few months. I'll let a kitchen remodel be an excuse for not reaching out and not saying hi to my audience, and for that I apologize. 

It’s nice to catch up after 2.5 years. Is the Embrace the Void host still feeling voidy? Very much so. We talked about his “new” podcast Philosophers in Space and talked about his episode 150 of EtV talking about the odd connection between skeptics and the Sovereign Nation right-wing Christian organization.  Aaron links: https://voidpod.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/philosophers-in-space/id1348915993 https://voidpod.com/podcasts/2020/7/9/ev-150-sovereign-nations-and-the-grievance-hoaxers Ed Brayton passes on: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/dispatches/2020/08/10/saying-goodbye-for-the-last-time/ Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege

Did she walk out of the ashes of her own podcast? Don’t bet against Jen. She started a new thing, The Atheist Wine Down, and it’s chock full of the kinds of rants, interviews and community building that her brand. We talked Game of Thrones (duh), the atheist community (yeah, we had to go there) and working with polytheists.   Show links:   theatheistwinedown@gmail.com    Https://twitter.com/JenDragonQueen    Https://facebook.com/TheAtheistWineDown    Https://patreon.com/JenAldrich   theatheistwinedown@gmail.com    Https://twitter.com/JenDragonQueen    Https://facebook.com/TheAtheistWineDown    Https://patreon.com/JenAldrich   https://www.youtube.com/TheAtheistWineDown?fbclid=IwAR3_A400UQHFsEYHCD0QTA1jFbItU4a0dntUmoG25Bdmz8KmcdGFbHLRbJ4   Support me on Patreon:    http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege   Itunes   https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2   Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege

When your cat gets zapped by God through the Internet, what do you do? Obviously you start a youtube channel. Vadim’s been at it for almost nine years, and this “season” will be the finale of Creationist Cat. He does promise that CC will be part of his youtube presence going forward. Over the years as the atheist community did what the atheist community did, his focus moved away from religion and turned to the alarming alt-right/antifeminist/anti-SJW trend that made most people run screaming from the platform. Vadim’s videos are smart, hilarious and his editing skills are top notch. We talked about his start on youtube, why he’s moved away from atheist content, his appearance at 2018’s Mythicist Milwaukee conference, and being called a whiny little fungus on Twitter.

It’s not the gritty reboot of Steve Shives, it’s just him. We did a little (a lot) of Hamilton talk, including the problematic parts. I didn’t ask him about his podcasts on the first go-round so we talked about Late Seating and Ensign’s Log, both available at the links below. Then we talked about Hamilton, a bit about cancel culture and we saved the red shirt for Steve Shives 3.0.
