Hosted by Molly, Nick, and Tim, the episodes are always entertaining and informative. What sets this podcast apart is how they tackle various topics, from games to movies to religion, and provide insightful commentary without being strident or artificial. The hosts have great chemistry and the guests they bring on are always interesting. It's impressive that they continue to produce new episodes weekly without any ads.

    One of the best aspects of Geeks Without God is the wide range of topics they cover. They delve into geek culture with discussions on games, movies, TV shows, and more. But they also touch on hot button issues like religion and skepticism. This unique mix makes every episode engaging and different from each other. The hosts have a knack for finding interesting guests who add their own perspectives to the conversations.

Their delivery is polished and their humor shines through without feeling forced. They strike a good balance between comedy and meaningful discussions.

    If there was one criticism about Geeks Without God, it would be that sometimes certain jokes or references might not land with all listeners. They have their own idioms and inside jokes that may take some time for new listeners to catch on to. However, this can also be seen as a positive aspect as it creates a sense of community among recurring listeners.

    In conclusion, Geeks Without God is a must-listen podcast for anyone interested in geek culture, atheism, skepticism, or just looking for an entertaining show with great hosts.
