Rank #1: The Battle of the Crater.
he Battle of the Crater was a battle of the American Civil War, part of the Siege of Petersburg. It took place on July 30, 1864, between the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee, and the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by Maj. Gen. George G.

Rank #2: Code Duello.
A code duello is a set of rules for a one-on-one combat, or duel. Codes duello regulate dueling and thus help prevent vendettas between families and other social factions. They ensure that non-violent means of reaching agreement be exhausted and that harm be reduced, both by limiting the terms of engagement and by providing medical care. Finally, they ensure that the proceedings have a number of witnesses. The witnesses could assure grieving members of factions of the fairness of the duel, and could help provide testimony if legal authorities become involved. Our theme song was written and performed by Anna Bosnick.

Thank God I'm Atheist

Frank and Dan's off-the-cuff conversations focus on current events cast through the lens of their shared atheism. Episodes include a rundown of six news stories from the prior week, and the show occasionally features interviews with writers, thinkers, and leaders in the atheist community. As former Mormons, the hosts provide insight into the often misunderstood religious minority.

Rank #1: "Lost at Sea" #92.
Brains of dying mice reveal details about near death experiences, PBS set to air series on Islam’s Muhammad, unable to focus on sermons church goers turn to e-devices, court orders child’s name changed, archbishop rejects persecution, Switzerland changes national anthem, and family lost at sea doesn’t find God.

Rank #2: "Praying To Walls" #77.
Britons trust Google as much as “the church” (meaning not very much), US Muslims more moderate than Muslims worldwide, atheist’s hold “National Day of Reason”, blasphemers punished in Malta, women praying at the wailing wall, atheist pamphlets in Florida school, and this week in gayness.

Embrace The Void

Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

Rank #1: EV - 96 Giving the Void an Argument with Ben Burgis.
