Austin Texas, eh? I’ve never been there. Whenever I hear the name “Texas” I can only picture a pickup truck kicking up dust, cowboy hats, and the grinning mug of America’s most powerful retarded boy, George W. Bush.

However, things are apparently different in Austin. The Atheist Community of Austin (ACA) has a group of active members who do things such as running a weekly public-access television show, free monthly lectures open to the public, and a couple of podcasts. The one I want to talk about today is The Non-Prophets. This is a bi-weekly live Internet stream which is also released as a podcast. While the show is live, listeners can join in the IRC chat and talk about what the hosts are discussing and submit questions to the show.

I first discovered this podcast because one of the hosts, Matt Dillahunty, posted a couple of comments to this site. I followed the link he left in his post and ended up subscribing. To date, I have listened to over 60 hours of their past shows. If you like your atheism with some spice, I recommend this show wholeheartedly. If you’re a theist who wants an anonymous look at some rational thinking, I sincerely hope you’ll check it out. If you like hearing religious wackos called ass-hats, then you must start downloading the show right now.

As someone who only started listening to the show within the last month, it has been an odd experience to run through over a year’s worth of shows so quickly. There have been many changes, in things from the audio quality to the cast; the audio has gotten much better and one of the main voices took a sabbatical. Based upon what I have heard, I can definitely give my seal of approval, for what it’s worth, to anyone who thinks my rants are any fun.
