      Skepticism / Atheism Media

      I had a hard time deciding what section this should go under (this, ask/tell me about, or the religious section). Feel free to move it mods if you think it should go elsewhere.

      I seem to have a thing for atheism and skepticism. My current time-wasting hobby is to play games (for which audio isn't very important), Minecraft right now, while listening to other audio. But I'm running out of things to watch and listen to. I don't know of many. Does anyone have any suggestions for shows, podcasts, etc. that can be downloaded for free, that are entertaining and fit under the categories of atheism or just skepticism?

      For a while I was obsessed with a show called The Atheist Experience, and I'm starting to go back to it. It's a talkshow about atheism based in Austin, Texas, but they broadcast live over the internet, and have their shows available for download. The main host, Matt Dillahunty, is extremely entertaining. I don't agree with everything said, but I think the show has overall increased my ability to think critically. They take callers who are often theists claiming to have proof of God. It is entertaining, educational and fun.

      I've also been watching a new podcast (available for download) called The Godless Bitches, which is also based in Austin and involves all of the females from The Atheist Experience but isn't officially affiliated with it. They discuss feminism from an atheist perspective. I've only watched 2 episodes, but so far it seems pretty good. As an atheist female it's pretty relevant and entertaining to me.

      Qualia Soup has a couple of playslists of amazing stuff - if you set the playlist to autoplay it should go straight through all the way. I've spent many a happy hour listening to it.

      This is not an atheist channel but some speakers do discuss it every once in a while.

      Also this is my favorite youtube channel, again its not exclusively devoted to atheism but it takes about intelligent design a bit.

      What does it mean for something to be under the category of atheism? Are issues talked about relative to the way they're perceived by the religious mainstream, or is the content specifically anti-religious?

      This is Richard Dawkins Youtube channel.
      He wrote The God Delusion, which you'd probably enjoy if you haven't already read it.

      Religulous with Bill Maher was fairly entertaining; a bunch of reasons for skepticism all packaged together in documentary format. Lots of interviews like the Holy Land theme park, a "formerly" homosexual preacher, stuff like that.
