Podcasts

[Ooberman]

A list of Podcasts I find are crucial for the topic of religion and/or skepticism.

1. The Bible Geek - as balanced a podcast as you can get in terms of theist/atheist - but, he has his own angle which you must be aware of.
2. Irreligiosophy - hillarious and informative
3. The Skeptics Guide to the Universe - a top-notch podcast with a science vs. pseudoscience focus.
4. The Atheist Experience - used to be better, is slipping (The Non-Prophets has also slipped and I no longer recommend it)
5. Conversations from a Pale Blue Dot - a very nice philosophical approach
6. DebateGod - a few debates
7. William Lane Craig debates - always important to here WLC vs. the world.
8. Freethought Radio - a different angle to the "culture war"
9. Point of Inquiry - Now that DJ is gone, it's finding its footing, but gets high profile people.
10. Skeptiko - interesting if you are into the Near Death Experience/Consciousness after death discussion
11. Skeptoid - nice, concise reviews of various urban legends and myths
12. Unbelievable - debates between atheists and theists, moderated by a Christian.



I would like to start a Podcast "club" - like a book club, where people agree to listen to a specific podcast and then discuss.

I'll keep mentioning it until I get some takers.

Do you have links to these podcasts? Maybe an OPML file? I'd like to give them a listen.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the recommendations. I'll give them a try!

I feel like one should add an additional warning for Irreligiosophy. I love them to death - hilarious as hell with good information included, but if you have a weak stomach or are easily offended, then they are not for you.

Reasonable Doubts is also extremely good. A bit dry at times, but they consistently providing excellent information and update regularly. Very civil and polite as well, for those who prefer that.

Cognitive Dissonance isn't bad for a new, general skeptical commentary on random news topics. Not especially informed, but they have a similar comedic style to Irreligiosophy and are entertaining.

For social and political news, I like The Young Turks.

All of the above can be listened to/watched for free on iTunes.

Good recommendations there. I listen to Dogma Free America. It looks for less covered news stories that feature crazy religious dogma. But they are undergoing a change to a new format and name: ScienceLaw. Not really sure what the new format will be except it sounds more serious and less jokey.

Big fan of SGU!!

So I checked out the Bible Geek. I ended up grabbing some podcasts from 2007. However, I think they were some kind of supplemental podcasts or something. Yesterday, I downloaded some newer stuff that I think is what was referenced in the links.

I also downloaded Irreligiosophy. I listened to the first episode and I like it so far.
