Booking Overview

This is a weekly secular-advocacy and church-state show featuring news, commentary, music, and interviews with policy specialists, writers, activists, and people with firsthand experience of religious institutions. PR agencies could credibly pitch atheism and secularism advocates, religious-liberty and constitutional-law experts, Christian-nationalism analysts, and authors with relevant personal or political perspectives; booking difficulty is likely low for highly relevant niche experts and FFRF-aligned advocates.

State/Church Advocacy

July 09, 2026

After reporting a slew of Christian Nationalist nonsense from pastors, government officials and our President, FFRF Action Fund's Senior Policy Counsel Ryan Jayne and State Policy Manager Ryan Dudley describe a slew of good and bad state-church bills in state legislatures so far this year.

Student Voices on Christian Nationalism

July 02, 2026

We look at a new federal "religious liberty" report that could significantly reshape church-state separation in the United States, along with a Supreme Court ruling allowing states to ban transgender girls from school sports. We feature award-winning essays by three students – Gabrielle Williams, Jaianah Hightower and MeKah'E LeClair. We also hear Dan Barker's opening statement from a recent debate on whether the God of the Bible exists.

A Liberating Journey

June 25, 2026

We first get the lowdown on the back and forth that Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., has gotten into with the Freedom From Religion Foundation regarding our objection to the Auburn University men's baseball program being suffused with religion. Then, we listen to writer Chrissy Stroop talk about her journey from evangelical schools to leading counternarratives about the Christian right.
