“This podcast has to be one of my top favorites of the many I've spent time listening to. Like Robert M. Price said in closing, "You're a great interviewer!"
The cover art, intro music and soundbite alone grants the listener the right mood and curiosity to engage in listening and is not left to be...”Read full review »

“A lot of really good and in depth interviews. I wish new episodes were coming out, but Luke (the host) is still doing a lot of really interesting things, so I'm not all that broken up about it.”

“Luke Muehlhauser (or Lukeprog) has since moved on to being Executive Director of the Singularity Institute, but during his time as blogger at Common Sense Atheism he contributed around 90 hours of these modern discussions on the debate of theism and morality. Luke is a critical thinker and...”Read full review »

“Conversations from the Pale Blue Dot is quickly becoming my favorite podcast. Host Luke Muehlhauser regularly gets interesting guests (whom he may or may not agree with) such as John Caputo, Peter Rollins, and Greg Ganssle. As host, Muehlhauser asks root questions, and allows his guests ample...”Read full review »

“Mr. Muehlhauser has only a few small questions: Is there a God? Is religion true? What are morals? How do our minds work? For those with an interest in these minor matters he hosts a great and many sided discussion. Good job Luke!”

“Awesome show and I appreciate Luke's contribution to society, but he would seriously improve the quality if he were to apply some good compressor/limiter software on the final mix and even out the volumes. Too many high and lows make it very difficult to listen to in noisier environments, like...”Read full review »

These are learned, clear flowing, lively discussions that have a tension and authenticity about them that comes from genuine inquiry.

My only gripe is that Luke is attached to a weird and inscrutable moral theory called 'desirism' which takes too many...”Read full review »
