The funniest man on the planet is here to talk about something not funny. Safe spaces, trigger warnings, and is the secular community targeting the wrong thing when we speak out against shrieking 19 year olds at Yale. Eli holds a very passionate position on this and we have a good discussion on it.
Here are some links Eli referenced:

This is an interview that has been months in the making. James Lindsay is here to talk about his exciting new book, Everybody Is Wrong About God, which you can find here: http://www.amazon.com/Everybody-Is-Wrong-About-God/dp/1634310365
James was kind enough to send me an advance copy, so I was very prepared to talk about the fascinating thesis expressed in the book. As you could guess from the title, he thinks everyone, including atheists, is looking at god the wrong way. We need to change the way to discuss god and try to argue about god. Is he right? You’ll have to judge for yourself, after listening AND buying his book…

This week I’m joined again by the great Chris Shelton! Chris appeared on the show some months back to discuss his 27 years of working for the Church of Scientology! I definitely recommend checking those episodes out if you weren’t a listener at the time. He’s here for an update on the goings on of the church as well as his personal recovery from it. Also, we talk about Leah Remini’s recent Scientology news.

In this second installment with Fiona, we debate a bit about what the rules should be for transgender kids or kids who begin identifying as another gender in high school, and request full use of shower/locker rooms. This is a real case that happened recently and the result was that even a separate changing area within the locker room for this person was deemed unfair.

This week I’m joined by Fiona to talk about her life as a transgender person. Fiona came out within the past year and has had to overcome a lot of challenges along the way. Fiona talks about how people have reacted, or not reacted, and also how every day things like using a public restroom are incredibly stressful.
Also we discuss an incredibly ignorant article by Matt Walsh, which you can find here: http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/with-the-transgender-movement-liberalism-has-finally-descended-into-total-madness/

One of my absolute favorites is back to talk politics! Best wishes also to Heath and his family, I would have loved to have both the guys on for this one but Noah and I soldiered on with a great show about the election. We broke down the debates, talked about different candidates, and just plain had a great time!
