Sunday May 3, 2020 The conversation today is with virologist Dr. Richard Allen Wjhite the 3rd, virologist and CEO of Raw Molecular Systems LLC, and is going to focus on Covid-19.  While we just had a conversation about covid-19 last month, we felt there has been so much change on this topic in the last 6 weeks, that another conversation would be useful and informative.  https://www.patreon.com/AtheistTalk

These are anxious days. Whether you're looking at politics or the pandemic, there's plenty of cause for concern. If you're suddenly having problems coping, today's show is for you.

Sunday March 22nd, 2020 Rob Ray, atheist and host of the podcasts Secular Yakking and Sparky on Ice joins us to discuss his year living and working in Antarctica.  Sparky on Ice was a one of a kind podcast, recorded and published from the continent of Antarctica. Among the many points of this conversation is a discussion of how scientists catch penguins for studying.  I've linked a video, and now I only want to visit Antarctica even more than previously.

Dr. Vincent Racaniello joins us to discuss COVID-19, including the biology, the history, current state, and how we can best respond to this pandemic. This is a science based conversation with a hope to combat some of the misconceptions fueled by fear and lack of understanding.

When I first invited Phil Session to the show, he had to turn me down. He had a conflict with an Atheists Helping the Homeless event he was coordinating. He’s a busy man these days, having recently joined the boards of Recovering From Religion and Foundation Beyond Belief. But this Sunday, Phil will join me to talk a little bit about the stereotype of community volunteers as religious and about finding or creating volunteer opportunities for atheists.

Once upon a time, we thought artificial intelligence would be less racist than people. After all, machines are objective, right? Then we started teaching them how to think and made some discoveries of our own. When racism permeates our society and our IT infrastructure, how do we teach machines to do better than we do? This week, we spoke with Alix Jules about the point where technology, cognitive sciences, and sociology collide.

The nonreligious population of the U.S. has grown significantly in the last couple of decades. Who are we? What issues are important to us? What do we want from the secular organizations that represent us. Today we're talking with Alison Gill, American Atheists' Vice President of Legal and Policy, about the U.S. Secular Survey. This is an ambitious survey with a goal of getting a better picture of American nonbelievers and other nonreligious populations, now and for the future.

We were going to have Charone Frankel of Habeas Humor back just to talk about separation of church and state, but then we looked at the news.

All too often, we view art and science as opposed to each other. Science artist Lynn Fellman joins us to talk about how they complement each other.

There's a lot of concern about birth rates in industrialized nations. Racist and anti-immigrant tropes are making a lot press right now. In Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women's Work, Jenny Brown examines the concerns of capital over declining birth rates and attempts to legislatively coerce more children instead of supporting parents.

July 14, 2019 You'd think that a movement that's so focused on growing wouldn't want to chase off a large chunk of their potential membership. You'd think an organization dedicated to supporting that constituency within the larger movement would be considered useful instead of unwanted. The history of Secular Woman demonstrates that reality is way more complicated than that. Today's guest is Monette Richards, current president of Secular Woman.
