AmyTheHeathen ,

It’s fine I guess

I mean, if you like generic white dudes answering questions about things, you could probably do worse. It’s definitely not as good as Secular Soup, which is better because it’s hosted by funny, intelligent women, but it’ll do. What even is a Wayward Willis anyway? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out.

A Podcast Gem

Such a pleasure to listen to this goofy but educational podcast that explores religious and scientific topics from an athiest's point of view. The comradery between Jon and Logan (father and son) really makes this podcast a gem.
