Talk radio for the godless

Remember: listen to the Minnesota Atheists radio program on Air America, tomorrow morning at 9am central time.

Topics tomorrow include Huckabee, an interview with Robert M. Price, and yours truly (with Kristine Harley) in a Moment of Science. We're going to be discussing useful references for evolution; the segment has been lengthened, so there may actually be time for you to call in.

Please, though, call in with sincere questions — time is limited, and comments, no matter how complimentary, eat up minutes, and whiny creationists who think it's clever to eat up time with tedious, self-important fussing will be cut off.

Remember—every Sunday at 9am, you Minnesotans (and clever others) can listen to the Minnesota Atheists radio program on Air America. Tune in tomorrow — it's especially important since I've heard that Air America has actually already lost one advertiser because they had the gall to actually allow…
Remember — Sunday morning at 9am, you can tune in to the Minnesota Atheists' very own Atheist Talk radio program. This week, we're planning to have a bigger slice of time for the Moment of Science, and Kristine Harley and I will be talking about the idea of bad "design" — the observation that…
It's a good thing that Minnesota Atheists are making an effort to get on the radio. Have you ever looked at the Christian talk radio programming in your area? It's like a black hole of rampaging stupid, so awfully banal and inane that it's terrifying. I was just sent the program guide for our major…
How do you think the Rabid Right is reacting to Obama's enlightened stem cell policies? This comic isn't far from the truth. Here's Glenn Beck, always the representative of Idiot America. So here you have Barack Obama going in and spending the money on embryonic stem cell research, and then some,…

Everyone PLEASE listen to PZ about questions not comments. That was by far the most annoying part of the first show. People calling in when one of the most famous and awesome atheists of our times, Dawkins, was on the show, and they didn't ask him ANYTHING, just blathered on about themselves. That was not what I tuned in for, thank you!

Said it before, I'll say it again: call screeners work WONDERS for these sorts of shows. You know all those nice callers on NPR shows that ask a concise question and then say "And I'll take my answer off the air"? That doesn't just happen: a good call screener makes it happen by screening out nuts and nonsense, and then coaching the remaining callers on how to be quick and to the point.

After they aired their first show, they said they'd have it posted for download by the following Monday, I think. It never appeared, at least not obviously, so people who are not in the local area can't really listen (and no, I don't stream anything so don't suggest iTurd)

The download for the show is always posted at the bottom of the show notes when we get the file late on Monday. There's an RSS feed for the show which you can plug into a browser if you just want to download shows without using a podcatcher.

Well I've been trying for the last forty minutes to connect by realplayer but the server s either slow or non-existant :(((

I'll keep trying.

Uh did we crash the radio stations website? You know PZ its a good thing you only use your powers for good... well most of the time.

Yep, it's the website that is not responding. I'm sure there is no nefarious explanation for this .....

I'll have to catch it as a podcast I guess but this stinks as I look forward to settling down on a Sunday afternoon to listen in real time. Particularly looking forward to the science spot with PZ but not to be :((

Have a good show.

Yea I gave up and finally learned how to subscribe to the podcast via itunes. I'm a little old to keep learning this new stuff. Hope it keeps the mind nimble a little bit longer.

I have the disc from the studio. The podcast will be up shortly.

I'm getting nothing from the Web site. There must be more atheists and interested folks than we expected.

I'm BACK from the Dinosaurs of China exhibit, which was freakin' awesome.

Yes, the Dawkins show was terrible because nobody had any questions. It was painful to listen to. I'm glad he was such a good sport about it.
