There’s often a big hole left in folk’s lives when they leave a faith they were raised in but find they can no longer believe. Dan, Mark, and Doug do a fantastic job of helping take apart, work with , and process issues surrounding loss of faith, how to live a good life, and avoiding woo while...Read full review »

Miss the show but understand why no longer able to continue

I wish this show had existed when I left religion because it would have helped me through a lot of the struggles I faced when leaving religion. This is by far the most useful show for new atheist or non believers, but it is also a great asset to people who have been out of the faith for a long...Read full review »

Sad because I just found this podcast, and now they're on a break! I’m going all the way to the first episode, but I decided to write this after “No Rush”. What was said about that guy…. I don’t even want to say his name…was so personal, meaningful, and accurate, I just wanted to say thank...Read full review »

About as good as they come. Packed full of information you may not know. From ancient religious text, to modern issues. With a mix of seriousness and the best sense of humor. Can’t recommend it enough. I hope this isn’t the Irish goodbye. Miss you guys.

I think it’s pretty obvious that we miss you guys and we really hope you guys come back and continue on with the show when you’re ready. In the mean time will you please consider letting us know how you’re doing and if there any plans for the future of the show? Much love Uncles!!

Look, I’m not going to lie. I fell in love with all three of my audio uncles. They gave me hours of entertainment, support, and one of them even made me laugh (maybe that was another show, I can’t be sure). Here is the punchline. They left me, cold and I’m the dark. I left my religious cult,...Read full review »

The Uncles are consistently informative, entertaining and very funny. Never a dull moment. I highly recommend!

What a great First Season, uncles! You guys experience what some counselor’s call, secondary trauma, the emotional toll. Self care, my friends! It’s priceless. I’ll miss you guys.
nickanderhoey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/21
Hey guys, I totally understand the need to take a break after hundreds of episodes. Not gonna lie to you though, you will be missed. I look forward to each episode. I hope you’re all able to engage in activities and pursuits that refresh and rejuvenate during this break from the How-to-Heretic...Read full review »

Will miss you all!

This podcast has made me feel like someone was listening and cared. It is the high point of my week, my "Audio Uncles". I love you guys. Fascinating information every week leading me to a better place.Read full review »
Sweet Pea Brown via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/21
And thanks to this podcast I finally find myself laughing at my past in a cult instead of feeling overwhelmed by anger and shame. When cracks started appearing in the paradigm I’d been raised and steeped in since birth I felt as though someone had kicked a chair out from under me. The more I...Read full review »

Dan, Mark, and Doug are the three best uncles ever and are so much fun!! It’s so great to be able to laugh at the human condition and I feel so validated in my decades old doubts, thoughts, and feelings about my evangelical upbringing. I am so glad to have discovered your podcast. I wish I...Read full review »

These three guys have got to be the best podcasters the world over. They're funny, articulate and educational all in one. They're just the best all around.Read full review »

My uncle was a narcissistic alcoholic who slept with my brothers girlfriend. Uncles Mark, Doug, and Dan are the opposite of that.
Jantho567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/21
This show is one of the highlights of my week. The Uncles’ camaraderie is delightful, they are hysterically funny, and the topics they cover are wide-ranging and always interesting. I learn something new from nearly every segment, and the guests always bring humor and/or something profound to the...Read full review »
freesiabird via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/21
This is hands-down one of my favourite podcasts. I knew religion could make me cry... but crying from laughter is THE BEST. I have a dozen episodes or so saved for when I’m having a down day and am always excited for new episodes. My daughter and I noticed there are a number of uncleisms that...Read full review »

I love this show. I started listening fairly early on, and I never fail to learn something new with each listen, while getting plenty of laughs. Well done, gentlemen.
DeaneHansen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/21
The audio uncles host a funny, clever, and oh so sensible show that brightens even the Ultimate Void of eldritch entities worse than yours truly, with a hilarious take on human inanity and the follies of religion overstepping its bounds. Solid content, at least compared to we beings of...Read full review »

Dan, Doug, and Mark are the audio uncles many of us heretics lost leaving religion. They are kind, funny, sincere, and a great resource for any stage on one’s journey. They’ll have you crying, fuming, groaning, and laughing in no time! And I promise it is WAY better than that sounds!
Nick Santamore via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/21
These heretical uncles have helped this nibling find peace in their path to leaving religion.
Maggie_May via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/21
One of my favorite podcasts. I thought the Southern Baptist church I grew up in was insane until these guys taught me about Mormonism.
Fat Max in Alabama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/21
Ok, so I know that doesn’t quite work, but it illustrates just the type of thing to expect with this podcast. Mark, Dan
Eggm4n via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/12/21
For a lot of my life, I felt really guilty for “not believing” the religion I was raised in wholeheartedly. These guys point out the ridiculousness of religion in a funny, insightful way, and make me feel so much better about my lack of belief! Excellent show, informative and funny!
thanks satan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/21
...unless you are trumpeting the glory of your Audio Uncles, Dan, Mark, and Doug! These delightful derelicts of delusions will disabuse you of deities from all dimensions! Dare to drown in their dramatic dioramas, but be warned: you might die laughing. No really, it’s great.
Shelnross via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/21
These hilarious heretics will tell you they’re not brilliant, but they absolutely are. Their wit is second to none, and their humanism is inspiring. Love love love them all three!
NoeticWoman via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/06/21
I’ve been a faithful listener since the beginning, and this has nestled its way into my heart over the years. All of the audio uncles are fantastic, but I do have a favorite (I’m looking at you Uncle Mark). The show is always full of unusual tidbits of information and witty banter that brighten...Read full review »

Voices of humour, compassion, integrity and intelligence in a world sometimes sadly deficient in those qualities. Long live the Uncles!
LTSSew via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/02/21
Great, humorous perspectives on the various religious topics. They bring the concepts and stories down to reality with a delicious topping of snark. Enjoying my way through the back catalog.
seattleskyeyes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/21
Six stars, in fact, ever since the episode in which the interstitial stinger stopped jolting me from sleep. Good call, Uncles.
Peter in Hawaii via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/21
You’d think there wouldn’t be much more to say after “I don’t believe.” I suppose you could follow up with something more emphatic, like, “I really really REALLY don’t believe.” But then, that should be that. Right? Except, that is most decidedly NOT that. Upon arriving at heretic-ed-ness, what...Read full review »

My fractured family have left me bereft of uncles, but it’s okay. They didn’t measure up to these guys anyway. Uncles Dan, Doug and Mark guide us nephews and nieces through the rough, up and down and outright scary terrain of religious nuttery. Sometimes extreme, sometimes ridiculous, always...Read full review »

Thank you, Uncles, for entertaining and provoking my thoughts. I would like to thank you. Thank you. Thank you for exposing the Christian Blitzkrieg. We must stop them. Thank you.
Yo, Denn Heim! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/21
The LDS didn’t make my uncle a child molester, but they sure didn’t stop him. These uncles provide an escalator to enlightenment, and the ability to laugh at the utterly ridiculous. Can I trade?
ssmq61e via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/21
Three very funny ex-mormon uncles who every week will make you laugh for two segments before crushing your spirit with a third segment that will leave you sad for the rest of the day
lordsmaf via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 02/03/21
A write this a change man , since the uncles three have come into my life. I have forsaken my vows as a monk. with the holy order of saint Samuel the forgetful.

Since my real life uncles are all Trump sniffing q-anon nuts, it’s great to have some audio uncles to give advice in this wild, crazy world. Dan, Mark and Doug gently guide us through the ins and outs of religious nuttery every week. It’s literally the only reason to wake up on Wednesdays. All...Read full review »

The hosts of this show take on the role of friendly rebellious uncles that you can turn to when you realize you have fallen out of religion.Their goal is to inform you about the world you left behind, why are you are better off, and that you are not alone. I recommend this show to everybody who...Read full review »

How-to Heretic is a smart and funny program that is always a joy to listen to. It’s perfect for people who listen to podcasts to learn interesting facts about history and religion.
Msssmitty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/21
This podcast has been invaluable for me dealing with the anger of my religious upbringing. Exposing and laughing at the absurdity of the ideas I used to hold has been therapeutic and enlightening to me on a very personal level, and it is all thanks to my new favorite uncles. And Dan too.
Fatmat007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/21
Have you been screwed by wooo? Have you been forked by a cult? Have no fear, your audio uncles are here! This is my go to podcast. The perfect mix of fun, education and heart.
