Hey everybody, this is Frank, maybe you've wondered, from time to time, how do Frank and Dan make

their show sound so great? And I've got something to say about that. We use really nice microphones,

something that we really wanted when we were first starting out with some nice professional

microphones. We finally bought the number of years ago. We use Sure SM 7Bs. Now this might kind

of sound like an ad and you might be wondering why I'd be telling you this information. It's really

just to set up the following, which is what you're about to hear is proof positive of just the level

of skill involved in producing this show. I don't sound like I normally would because I forgot to

turn on my Sure SM 7B and instead recorded the entire episode on my computer's on board

but I don't think it really affects the quality of the show. Dan and I discussed maybe rerecording

the episode and to be honest there were just a couple moments in the show that I don't think we

could recreate if we rerecorded and that were just really nice good moments. And so we're just

letting it be hopefully next week. I push the right buttons and the show sound better but in the

meantime, enjoy the show.

Hey everybody! Hi guys, well from genuinely gorgeous Salt Lake City Utah.

It's Thank God I'm Atheist. The podcast. I'm Frank Felden. And I'm Dan Beacher. And coming up on

the show today, everyone, Josh Dugger. He's got it. It's now 19 charges and counting. Oh god.

It's a bad day for one particular evangelical Christian and

and its family and probably it's probably indicative of something larger but we'll talk about that.

Yeah. So that's coming up on the second half of the show. Before we get to that, we've got

we've got some news stories. Some various and sundry stories. Some stuff happened this week. Dan?

Yeah. While while you were basking in the sun. Oh yeah. It was really nice. It was really nice. And

you know what? I listened to the episode. Kate did a great job. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's lovely too.
