Customer Reviews
There are much better informed podcasts
While Jacob and Ryan have their Canadian hearts in the right place, they are speaking off the cuff, without a great deal of research, and this leads at times to misstating facts and therefore misleading listeners. Atheists are already under a great deal of suspicion, and it falls on those who take on the role of spokesmen not to hand negative ammunition to our critics. Better podcasts include Non-Prophets Radio, The Atheist Experience, Dogma Free America, Skeptoid, The Skeptics Guide to the Universe, Point of Inquiry, Freethought Radio, Skepticality, and Truth-Driven Thinking.
Very pleasant listen
These guys are just open minded, clean cut, young free spirits having some fun. I admire their friendship and their ability to pull off a very pleasant discussion. I laugh a lot listening to them. They do not take themselves too seriously, so I don't think we should either. They put the world of religion in context for me without having to get riled up about it. Good work Jacob and Ryan.
informative, funny, yet informal
I'm a subscriber and look forward to this podcast every week. They speak in a tone I can enjoy: not pedagogical, but accessible. More like talking with friends.
