You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheistically speaking this is episode

204 and I'm your host Thomas Smith. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you so

much for joining me today. I'm you know I'm just so happy with this show lately and what we've gotten to do and

the guests I've gotten to talk about and the response from listeners as well. I'm really loving it.

Keep it up guys because I get

comments, I get emails, especially as regards the abortion episodes where you

know it was a little bit controversial and and I'd mentioned to you that I got comments that didn't exactly like my, you know, my treatment of the issue.

Well, I have two commenters who are willing to come on the show and we're going to hash it out and I just really enjoy the opportunity to

to possibly let everyone including myself most of all for me benefit from the other point of view because that is something I really think is important.

And as I think about sort of the role that I want my show to play and I think you guys probably listeners already know this but I've

gotten a lot of new listeners lately so maybe it's something I could say now very briefly but

when I think about the role that I want my show to play kind of in the you know in the

podcast fear there's a million podcasts there's actually probably a trillion

podcast we've probably there are more podcasts than there are people. I know it's like the

classic pitch. Look I know you have a choice when it comes to your podcast. Well that's

absolutely true you have a lot of choices when it comes to your

podcast and a lot of you might have a lot of podcasts you listen to but maybe you

only have one or two and I know how that is. I don't have time to listen to as

many as I want to so it takes a lot to make

sure you keep listening and I just wanted to say that the role I see for my show is

really entertaining all sides of a debate and getting to the bottom of it.

I mean that doesn't mean everything.
