I rented goats. It's not quite fiddling while Rome burns. It's much cuter. Why does one rent goats? What is it like to have 30 goats living in your yard for five days? Do I almost die from exposure to cuteness? Can you name the goats?  Show notes Get Your Goat Rentals http://www.getyourgoatrentals.com/ Link that Jeanne requested and I actually remembered to post this time 2020 US Census https://2020census.gov/?cid=20003:census%202020:sem.ga:p:dm:en:&utm_source=sem.ga&utm_medium=p&utm_campaign=dm:en&utm_content=20003&utm_term=census%202020

After the JK Rowling blog posts and doubling down on some of the most common anti-trans arguments from a TERF point of view (and nicely re-acronymed FART by my guest), I had to get Amy back on to talk about her thoughts on the arguments which were lapped up by a lot of skeptics. We covered that nicely, had a little side trip to talk about Sponge Bob being gay or asexual, Trump's dumping of another Obama-era protection for gay and trans people then the Supreme Court being surprisingly human for once.  Amy links: The Ginger Snaps https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-ginger-snaps?fbclid=IwAR2QcJ42vZe5s3mjUWA1GIXaTVEhi3OFHNfrbJOw8RrT61BoSMph9bLy_Rw Notes/articles: https://indianexpress.com/article/books-and-literature/jk-rowling-defends-her-transphobic-tweet-shares-she-is-a-sexual-assault-survivor-in-recent-essay-6453698/ https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/dec/19/jk-rowling-trans-row-court-ruling-twitter-maya-forstater https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/12/politics/trump-administration-transgender-health-care

There's no other subject matter worth talking about at the moment other than the protests going on across the nation. I had Chris Watson from the Postmodern Polymath Podcast to discuss his experience at a protest in downtown Nashville, the concept of the end of policing, and the little stunt with our President, a church, a Bible and just a little tear gas thrown in.

This week's guests include Amy and Ami of Secular Soup (and more), Brent Lee of Unapologetix (and more) and Sam Mulvey of Ask an Atheist (and more). We ramble on what we would eat and/or drink that we hate for charity, what would we say to tell our loved ones that we were kidnapped and do we hate watch/listen during the quarantine?

Lex left the Mormon church after being involved in it for her entire life. Once she discovered the truth about the church, its founding and the racism/sexism of the founders she left. Then she was told not to talk about it. So she went to her minivan and talked about it. She’s a year into her youtube channel and you’ll get well researched personal stories about the church and its history. We talked about taking down one’s life and replacing it.

It was a rambunctious good time with four cats showing up in three states. I set up the Atheist Happy Hour on Wednesday morning so luckily I had Amy Kuhel of The Ginger Snaps and Tucker Drake of Atheist in the Trailer Park to show up and pass the hour.  Amy links: The Ginger Snaps https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-ginger-snaps?fbclid=IwAR2QcJ42vZe5s3mjUWA1GIXaTVEhi3OFHNfrbJOw8RrT61BoSMph9bLy_Rw Tucker links: Atheist in the Trailer Park http://trailerparkatheist.libsyn.com/ Live Read Secular Week of Action fundraiser https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/secular-week-of-action-virtual-5k-for-bn-cmb-and-fbb?fbclid=IwAR0OL9ALB7TDSNDe772owgtPFrPK0Mhv7b2vluVyozDFtBJ8HWV8QjaymuM #freemubarak  https://www.atheistalliance.org/campaigns/free-mubarak-bala/ 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

Imagine you are in Hickory, North Carolina, circa 2017. You’re young and innocent and want to meet all the cool podcasters and cooler followers of the podcasters. You’re in the right place. Now say you didn’t make it and feel like you missed out. This hangout will catch you up on the highs and lows and what’s transpired in the past three years with the former hosts of Bar Room Atheist (Bill and Suzy), No Religion Required (Bobby and Ashley). We also brought on Shujin Tribble of Holy Crap! The Vlogcast which is a show that goes on way past my bedtime.  Show links https://www.facebook.com/noreligionreq/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-religion-required/id844112494 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwwgXy6R5UUfKlhDIpHabg https://www.facebook.com/BarRoomAtheist/ https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/bar-room-atheist https://holycrapthevlogcast.com/ Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://w

Matthew Maxon is the co-host of Odd Atheist Friends. Yes, it’s coming back. Hey, if you are itching for new content, you can re-binge listen to their 73 episodes to date. OAF is Matthew and Erik are a white straight veteran former fundie and a trans man who found true podcast co-host love online. Ask about their ass tattoos. We talked about the military, saying goodbye to a podcaster friend and just kind of rambled on a Sunday morning. I regret not asking about Chicago-style pizza.  Links: https://twitter.com/oafpodcast https://www.facebook.com/OAFPodcast/ https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/j5fys-56da0/Odd-Atheist-Friends-Podcast Live Read https://wondery.com/shows/american-elections-wicked-game/

It’s Rob’s third show appearance. He’s here this week to talk about his year plus in Antarctica. And you hear me struggle to say Antarctica correctly. Rob found electrician work down there, spent a year and plans to return again in September. What about the penguins? Is it really that cold? What is it like podcasting from a closet 750 miles from the South Pole?    Rob links: Rob on Atheists Talk https://player.fm/series/atheists-talk-radio-show/ep-526-antarctic-experiences-with-rob-ray https://www.facebook.com/sparkyonice/ http://sparkyonice.xyz/   Previous Rob/Secular Yakking shows: Episode 45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3znxbxalF5c Episode 129  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ywVJI0EK24   Live Read   Thanks Nancy and Goodbye = Left at the Valley   https://www.blogtalkradio.com/kandk/2020/03/28/thank-you-nancy-and-goodbye   Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twit

Geoff Cooper recently celebrated his 1st anniversary of Blue Collar Heathen. With coffee. Mr. Cooper is a paramedic by night, so naturally we discussed the current health crisis with someone who's "in the field". We also discussed his religious upbringing, how studying Roman and Greek Gods made him turn away the Christian one. He's taken on Thomas Aquinas, a fellow youtuber called Blue Collar Catholic, and he has a different take on taxing churches.  Blue Collar Heathen links https://twitter.com/BCHvids?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCion94zWB_TuFWk1AAYusHw Live Read:   13 Minutes to the Moon https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xttx2/episodes/downloads   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

He’s the creator of dozens of fact-packed Holy Kool Aid videos on Youtube with 112,000 subscribers and counting. Thomas Westbrook decided to give it a go being a full-time content creator and he’s succeeded wildly. Now he’s back after a trip to Israel and from that has taken a dive into Biblical history, Old Testament style. I don’t mean he’s genociding people and getting lost for 40 years. He’s studying the… oh, never mind. We talked about his Nothing Fails Like Bible History series, how hard it is to die from hail, and content creation in the age of social distancing.   Holy Kool Aid links   https://holykoolaid.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzvoUDoDu-cKIb11rg4ODDQ https://twitter.com/holykoolaid https://faithlessforum.com/   Live Read   Worst Year Ever’s Reasonable Guide to Prepper(ism)   https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-worst-year-ever-49377032/episode/the-reasonable-persons-guide-to-prepping-59450250/   Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://i

He started American Freethought Podcast in 2007. There must have been five podcasts at the time so I’d say a lot has changed in the interim. We’re almost 300 episodes in and John’s interviewed a ton of atheist leaders, authors, and just plain awesome people. He recently went to a Baptist congregation to talk about being a nonbeliever, and that’s the kind of dialogue we don’t get a lot these days. Let’s hear about the Atlanta community, getting out of being a Baptist, and making a show on his own. I’ll be a guest on his podcast shortly.   American Freethought links   http://www.americanfreethought.com/ https://americanfreethought.libsyn.com/ https://twitter.com/AMERFREETHOUGHT   Live Read   Worst Year Ever -- how to fill out a FOIA request https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-worst-year-ever-49377032/episode/how-to-use-foia-requests-to-58255622/   Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http:/

Sure, everyone wants to talk to that hunk Kevin Francis, but what about the ladies of Left at the Valley?

Dr. Marisa Richmond is a professor of history and gender studies at Middle Tennessee State University. She's also an activist, starting the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition, a winner of Davidson County Democratic Woman of the year, the first black trans woman to be elected to a delegate to a major party convention. If you want to get in politics or figure out how to get someone really good at trivia on your side, talk to her. We talked about getting politically involved, the current state of the Democratic party, and cats.

American Atheists had a tough choice to make in September of 2018 when looking for a new President. They went for an internal candidate who had been working in activism/secularism/politics for the last decade in Nick Fish. He's moved around the country to be where the activism is. He's settled into New Jersey but will be in Phoenix this April at the American Atheists national convention. It's the easiest convention to remember when it is. Easter weekend. See, atheists usually have not much to do that weekend other than watch Christians perform pagan fertility rites. In any case, the conference is coming up so if you can attend, you should. If you can't make it, you always can get involved because AA is very much a volunteer organization and if you haven't heard, the evangelicals are going wild in state legislatures.  Nick Fish/American Atheist links: https://twitter.com/notnickfish https://www.atheists.org/ https://www.facebook.com/events/222058298800621/ https://convention.atheists.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobCh

I know it looks like I did the same number twice but during the recording of part one of this week's show, I realized that I skipped one so to ensure that I have actually done 209 this will be 209z. I talked about my 2019 guests, some of the issues of the year, what we're going to see in 2020, and I reviewed a book and a TV show so spoilers there.  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 Daily Atheist started ten months ago as one man’s quest to “content” as often as possible about atheism, politics, and gravy. Chris Mallard will explain whether he painted himself in a corner content-wise by calling himself The Daily Atheist. We talk about his atheism origin story, taking on a Christian apologist in a recent The Right to Reason that seemed like a quaint throwback, and how one decides to learn to play the cello.  The Daily Atheist links https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmJfWwrKnNh7dgnu9hns-hw https://twitter.com/chrismallard101 https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Theist-Christopher-Mallard-ebook/dp/B00CSJZ3FI/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=chris+mallard&qid=1577888154&sr=8-2 Live Read Benjamin Dixon Show http://progressivearmy.com/benjamin-dixon-show-live/ 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
