| 0:00.0 | You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello, listeners. Welcome to episode 27 of atheistically speaking. |
| 0:35.0 | I'm your host Thomas Smith, and do I have a great, |
| 0:38.0 | another great week in store for you guys? |
| 0:40.0 | First off, I have Greta Christina, who I'm very happy to have on the show. |
| 0:45.0 | She has a new book out about coming out as an atheist and I think this is |
| 0:49.6 | of course she's you know she wants to promote her book. I'm happy to have her on and talk about her book and promote it. |
| 0:55.4 | But at the same time, this is a very important issue |

| 1:49.4 | strictly to talk about the book and then in the second episode we talked about feminism and |
| 1:56.2 | it was incredibly insightful had nothing to do with her current book and had everything |
| 2:01.0 | to do with genuine questions that I have about sort of women and |
| 2:06.3 | atheism and she really painted a picture for me and really helped me understand and I'm looking forward to |
| 2:14.4 | everyone hearing that and getting everyone's reaction from it so it's her |
| 2:18.8 | interview was great I'm really happy with it and I'm excited for you guys to hear it. But first, of course, we have some |
