This is Free Thought Radio with co-host Stan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor, Irreverent Views, News, Music, and Interviews.

Imagine there's no heaven.

It's easy if you try.

No hell below us, above us only sky.

Imagine all the people living for today. Hello, I'm Annie Laurie Gaylor, and welcome to Free Thought Radio on this memorial weekend.

And let's remember all Americans who have defended our nation, including the non-believers

who are memorialized on FFRF's Atheist and Foxhole Monument in Alabama,

that is dedicated to the Freethinkers, who are vets and in the military,

who we hope are working for a world where war will become unnecessary.

And I'm Dan Barker, your friendly neighborhood, Atheist of the Airwaves. This is the May 24th,

2014 broadcast of Free Thought Radio. This show is produced at, and we broadcast from the Progressive

Talk. It's the Mike 92.1 in Madison, Wisconsin. After we broadcast on Saturday mornings here in Madison,

then we also broadcast in California on stations in New York, in Michigan,

other parts of the country, including Missouri and Texas.

We stream from this station if you want to hear it, quote-unquote, live,

or you can sign up for the podcast at our web page at ffrf.org.

Free Thought Radio is the weekly production of the Freedom from Religion Foundation,

which is the nation's largest association of atheists and agnostics,

and we work to keep religion out of government, and we hope you'll join us not someday, but soon at ffrof.org.

And our Alabama chapter will be having a glorious Fourth of July celebration in the first

weekend of July, July 3rd through the 5th, that you might want to come to. Annie Lorraine and I

will both be there. Today we have two guests on our show. In the second half of today's show, we're going to talk with the biographer, Megan Marshall, whose book Margaret Fuller, A New American Life, just won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in biography.
