UTBB Podcast

Joe returns hitched and refreshed from his honeymoon, and with what can only be described some sort of sickening glow of happiness, brings vigor back to the podcast. We start with announcements about Ayaan Hirsi Ali's new Twitter; JD Brucker mentioning us in his blog; Seethin's less than stellar appearance on the Zachrilege Cast, and his slightly more stellar appearance on a Quranify Me skit; Kevin the Infidel's tweet mentioning the show; Matthew The Apostle's shameless poaching of a story from Tennessee; and a voicemail left on Cognitive Dissonance by Seethin. Then we get into the meat of the show, with our characteristic brand of wit and profanity. Our first story shows that CNN is apparently trying to become the Atheist News Channel; JD Brucker reviews "God Is Not Dead" and tells everyone to basically forget it ever existed; Why anti-theists are pissed, and it's not quite 99 reasons, but it's pretty damn close; CNN once again demonstrates that it's going for the atheist demographic by showing an FFRF

Once again Seethin' goes it alone, this time because Joe is on his honeymoon, undoubtedly doing unspeakable things do that poor woman that is now his wife. This week in the intro we find that CNN is doing a special on atheists and make it sound scary, as well as a genuine thank you to the awesome hosts at The Gaytheist Manifesto. Next, a new segment is introduced where notable atheist authors/journalists are highlighted, and we start with blogger, author, and all-around anti-theist avenger J.D. Brucker, Then we start with our news stories which include a Christian boot camp getting shut down in Alabama; A Virginia local politician seems to think that God ended slavery; Our local paper does an article about Openly Secular trying to get religious test laws abolished in Tennessee as well as other states; and Dan Arel once again shows that the Hamm-ster is a pathetic, delusional  narcissist who is desperate for attention. So while Joe's enjoying marital bliss, Seethin' is layin' down the truth! Music by Eric

Joe is tired and stressed because of his upcoming wedding on Pi day (March 14), but he sucks it up and joins the show for another scatological heathen extravaganza! In the intro we discuss a videotaped speech of Mr. Godless in Dixie himself, Neil Carter, various kind retweeters, and a brand new patron, David from Canada. We then start with this week's stories, which include the Hamm-ster exploiting children in the name of his Ark; three legislators in Idaho who walk out rather than have to hear a prayer that isn't Christian; a discussion of scripture and context by Ali Rizvi; Sam Harris explaining why Islamic apologists are just plain wrong; and hell freezes over as Fox News somehow lets an article about America not being a Christian nation slip through its censorship dragnet. Grab you a pie for Pi day and enjoy this final episode with Joe as a single man! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

This is the audio monologue from Quranify Me Episode 49 : We Stand With Raif and Ensaf. It only clocks in at about six minutes, but it is accurate representation of the thougts and feelings of both hosts regarding the horrible Raif Badawi ordeal.

Joe rejoins the show after the Icepocalyspe 2015 event, and we were so excited to be back together we did one of our longest shows ever! Our intro has plenty of interesting tidbits, including lots of shout-outs, our new Patreon page, a hilarious message from Hemant Mehta, The Friendly Atheist, and an exciting announcement from Joe! We then get on to our stories, including the AFA showing that imitation is just pathetic sometimes; Scott Walker doing some shameless pandering in Music City; Dan Arel telling Islamic apologists where exactly they can go; Scooby Doo as atheist propaganda; and what people in Bells, TN do for Christmas at a public elementary school. Live long and prosper! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

It's a solo effort this week, as a Southern Snow/Icepocalypse added to hectic schedules conspired to make it impossible for the intrepid heathens to synchronize, so apologies to those who only tune in for Joe's dulcet tones; hopefully Seethin's decidedly less velvety tones will do for this week. On tap: The Denmark shootings and what we know as of now; Tennessee once again tries to sneak Christianity into the State Constitution; Georgia teachers thinks forcing kids to pray is just fine; 50 Shades in a hit in a hilariously ironic locale; A pediatrician won't see a baby because of its parents; and Foundation Beyond Belief shows atheists have a heart without the threat of eternal damnation to motivate them. Sometimes going solo feels better! Enjoy! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

We keep you guessing with the release schedule here at UTBB, and this is no exception, as this is being released on a Thursday! Who doesn’t like surprises? This week, we start off with the tragic story of the Chapel Hill shootings and its relation to atheism (nothing, we contend); Tennessee decides it wants to try to succeed where Mississippi failed; A prayer for no insurance for poor people in Tennessee; We see Alabama once again trying to stand in the way of progress, which it partially succeeds at, for now; Obama tells the truth about religions, and Republicans shockingly are appalled; and Virginia may be for lovers, but apparently not when they’re non-believers. Keep away those winter blues and listen to the latest UTBB podcast! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

We went to a library study room to put this week's episode together, and it shows. But it also goes to show the lengths we will go to bring you an episode. That's a positive thing, right? This week, Seethin reads a letter, plugs a podcast, and makes the case for charity and doing good deeds in an atheist/secular context; We discover that Bryan Fischer is out, but not really, at the American Family Association; We find that Alabama repeats history and wants to defy Federal law; A more inclusive Veteran's monument is given the green light in North Carolina; Judaism is not exempt from crazy fundy types; and how atheism could bring peace on Earth! It may not sound great this week, but this episode in nothing if not uplifting! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com  

For our 10th episode, we have our very first interview, and we were honored to have Paul from Quranify Me join us for a chat. Highlights of our conversation include his future plans for his show; his disdain for prominent Muslim apologists (CJ Werleman, Mo Ansar, and Ben Affleck were mentioned); Paul's encounters with the dark side of Southern culture in Alabama; his reaction to the Charlie Hebdo attack; and I also announce a contest to win a Quranify Me "Got Guilt?" T-shirt when you donate to Paul's favorite charity, The AHA Foundation! There's also lots of laughs and profanity as well, of course. A show the pedophile Prophet himself would approve of!    Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

Satan and exploitation are themes in this installment of Unbuckling The Bible Belt. We find out that the Pope is ok with meeting speech with violence; an interactive display for Satan may be on tap in OKC; Orange County throws in the towel and takes out the bible; A lady in Memphis sees evil symbols in taillights; and a little boy didn't go to heaven after all, but it's ok, because people are making money! So bring your Satanic bible and your rosary, and prepare for a wild ride! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

 We had technical difficulties on this episode, thus apologies are due in advance for the shorter than usual length as well as the subpar audio quality (one segment was completely unusable; the rest we had to use a backup recording). But the show must go on! So settle in and hear our takes on the Charlie Hebdo attack and the issues surrounding it; the barbaric punishment of a Saudi blogger for speaking his mind; the town in Alabama who is literally under God; and a club for school kids who actually want to think for themselves. Once you get past the sound quality, you'll be glad you listened! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

The Terrible Tennessee Twosome is coming at you again with another freshly pressed episode of their formidable heathen podcast! This week, the Hamm-ster once again demonstrates his utter disconnect from objective reality, Ten Commandment style; we see the real damage religious indoctrination can wreak upon a precious young life; there's a holiday tailor-made for us heathens, and the majority of people don't even know about it; Lawrence Krauss serves the smackdown on a non-scientist making the case for God in the Universe; and some douchenozzle chancellor of a college in Alabama apparently doesn't know that you can't spread your religious bullshit in your role as an agent of a government institution. Get over your New Years' hangover, and come listen to our podcast for some secular healing! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com

Happy New Year! This week we take a look at how one town is trying to get around violating the First Amendment; A "Catholic Warrior" fights the not-so-good fight for her beliefs; Some knucklehead trashes an FFRF banner; a zombie sighting in Ohio; and how a new article shows how Christians cherry-pick (imagine that)! Kick off your new year right with Unbuckling The Bible Belt! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com  

We're baaaccckk! We were off last week, but we come back with a vengeance with Southern fried atheism! Our stories this week include Ken Hamm's failed attempt to get taxpayers to pay for his fantasy ark; Christians who turn against a fellow Christian because she is actually ACTING like Christ; Hindus want to put a cool monkey god statue in OKC; and a teacher quits because one of her students uses so-called "religious persecution" as a cover for his uber-douchey quest to get her fired. Also, we have a voicemail from Bobby C. of the No Religion Required podcast, a story from a listener about Mississippi, an Atheist Christmas Carol, and several shout-outs! Fun times for all! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com  

On this installment of everyone's favorite heathen podcast, Chris and Joe discuss how billboards can drive Christians crazy; Satan gets his way in Florida; Satire and atheism are alive and well in Mississippi; A Texas town don't want no damn secular display on their gubmint property, by Jeebus is fine; and a Seth Andrews video shows that Christ does NOT have to be in Christmas. A fun filled Holiday extravaganza for all! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com  

  On this episode of our world famous podcast, we discover that Moses was the Father of American Democracy; A hair transplant surgeon and convicted criminal proves that anyone can be Jesus Christ; The Satanic Temple wants in on the fun at the Florida Capital Rotunda with a festive display; And you can never have too many lawyers when doing a film about Scientology.

Get the word out by any means necessary!  Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com  

 On this episode of Unbuckling The Bible Belt, your intrepid hosts discover that a Florida school system doesn't appreciate Satanic coloring books; Christians have infiltrated the Republican Party of Texas, which is news to no one; the State of Mississippi demonstrates once again why are the last in everything by trying to make Christianity a state religion; A guy carrying a cross is in an accident, but not the way you might hope; and Anonymous is not to be messed with, even when the KKK threaten them with their white hoods and outdated ideology. Also, find out who has been helping the show get the word out, and the Atheist Prayer rounds things out. Fun and excitement for all! Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com  

 In this episode Chris the Seethin' Heathen and SJ are introduced as the show's intrepid hosts. We discuss the goals of the show, which include lots of cussin' and atheist/anti-theist ranting, but also with logic and reason utilized when possible. We present all of this titillating information from a Tennessee perspective.  Our main story this week is the passage of Amendement 1 to the Tennessee State Constitution, which allows the legislature to pass laws regulating abortion in our grand state. We talk about what the law really means, and what the effects may be, and how fucked up the whole thing is. We also somehow manage to segue into the Brittany Maynard case, and how all the Christians aren't acting terribly Christian. Music by Eric Parsons, marrman89@gmail.com
