A crucial fixture of the atheist podcast industrial complex
I rely heavily on atheist/skeptical podcasts to keep me informed and to remind myself that a lot of people are just as concerned about the same issues I am. Because I listen to several of them, Hemant often chooses stories that I also hear covered by other shows, be they Thinking, Scathing, or some other kind of atheist. Even so, the analysis and opinions provided by Hemant and Jessica are refreshing and often frame the story in a new and different way. And Jessica is fantastic. She’s the Cara Santa Maria of Jordan Holmeses. The “one host reports the story and the other reacts to it” model can be done very well or very poorly, and Hemant and Jessica do it very well. In this dynamic, Jessica’s job is undeniably the harder one. Hemant already knows the story and has had time to think about how to analyze and discuss it. Jessica is coming in cold more often than not, and her ability to roll with the story and punch it up on the fly is among the best I’ve heard.
