The Scathing Atheist 
I think y’all might be my new favorite podcast. I was taken aback a bit on my first listen, but I quickly came (you’re welcome) to appreciate your no-holds-barred attack on the idiocy that is religion in 2015. My favorite bits are any that involve banter among the three of you – usually in the Holy Babble segment – because the lovely Lucinda’s giggles might just be the most adorable sound on planet earth. Keep up the godless work!
