Here are some links to on-line audio and video programs of interest:
Penn Jillette. This is Penn Jillette's radio show. Penn is a libertarian and an atheist (not to mention a pretty decent magician) and arguably one of the sharpest guys on the planet. I absolutely love this show! Check out more of his archived shows here.
Sam Harris on TV. Sam Harris on radio. Sam is the author of the book, "The End of Faith". I think Sam is brilliant, couragous, and one of the best writers of freethought literature I have ever come across.
Julia Sweeney Here is an excerpt from Julia's monologue "Letting Go of God" as heard on This American Life. Julia's website is here.
Point of Inquiry. This is the podcast/radio show of the Center for Inquiry. Past shows are archived. Here are some of my favorites. Sam Harris (4/7/2006 and 4/14/2006), Richard Dawkins (2/10/2006), Ibn Warraq (1/6/2006), Tom Flynn (6/23/2006).
Ray Kurzweil. Many people think Ray Kurzweil is nuts, but I really like this guy. Ray is a celebrated futurist, inventor, and author of "The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology". He appears here on the radio show "On Point" with Tom Ashbrook.
The Infidel Guy. This is the website of Reginald Finley, Sr.. Lots of great interviews, debates, and other audio/video presentations. Much of the site is free, although you can become a "gold" member and have access to literally hundreds of freethought audio and video resources. Reggie has interviewed Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Julia Sweeney, Michael Shermer, Asia Carrera, and many others. He even interviews me!
The Hillbilly Atheist. This guy is great. You must check out the show where HBA attends (and records!) a Pentecostal service.
Stefan Molyneux. Stefan is an atheist and anarcho-capitalist. He makes a number of very compelling arguments. And he's done a zillion podcasts. You may not agree with him, but he'll make you think. As an atheist and a libertarian, I recommend this site.
The Cato Institute Daily Podcast. Here's an archive of daily podcasts from the libertarian think tank.
Philosophy Talk Archive. Two Stanford philosophy professors discuss all sorts of philosophical issues. It's worth a visit. Dozens of shows on every conceivable (and inconceibable) subject.
Robert Wright interviews Edward O. Wilson Some people don't like Robert Wright's interview style, but I think he does a great job.
Robert Wright interviews Steven Pinker Ditto.
Robert Wright interviews Daniel Dennett Ditto.
Podcasts by Andrew Bernardin at The Evolving Mind. Andrew Bernardin is a personal friend. He's written a couple of books. Andrew is smart, thoughtful and an all around good guy. I encourage you to check out his podcasts.
The Thomas Jefferson Hour. Our third president portrayed by Clay Jenkinson, maybe the smartest and most articulate human being on the planet. If you don't check out this site for Jefferson, check it out for Jenkinson! I have yet to hear a show I didn't like.
Freethought Media Network. Lots of freethought broadcasters in one place. The brainchild of Reggie Finley (the Infidel Guy). Check it out!
Freethought Radio. Another freethought network. There are probably several things here you will like. I believe even my voice makes an occassional appearance. Check it out!
