You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and welcome to serious inquiries, this is episode 182,

I'm your host Thomas Smith,

and this week, and now for something a little different.

You know, obviously, there's a lot going on in the news,

and I'm sure you should tune in to opening arguments to hear more about that.

Something a little different for this show this week.

You know, Russell Glasser is somebody who's been a fixture, especially on

atheist experience and his other podcast the nonprofits

and just in the atheism scene for quite a while

so if you're an atheist like me

and certainly in the last ten years you've probably

spent a lot of time listening to or watching Russell or the very least you might have heard of him.

Anyway, he recently kind of dropped out of the scene quite a bit. He hasn't done a show of atheist experience in at least a year, maybe more.

He's stopped doing that kind of thing. He's backed out of activism a decent amount.

And I saw some of his posts about it recently.

I asked him if he wanted to come on and just talk about it.

So here we go, a conversation with Russell Glasser, who of course you'll know from

atheist experience among other places.

Let's head on over and talk to him. Russell, welcome to the show.

Hi there, how are you?

I'm doing well, how you doing?

I'm doing pretty good.
