Podcast appearances and mentions of Kate Smurthwaite

Giles Fraser meets columnist Giles Coren, who was raised in the Jewish tradition, became an atheist and who now feels at home in a Christian church, to explore what it means to be culturally religious.Is cultural religiosity an oxymoron and totally untenable? Is it on the rise or has it always been there? Is it damaging to traditional religious practices? And, does it really matter?To examine these questions, Giles is joined by: Michael Rosen, author and poet, known for his work exploring humanism and atheism. He has co-written a book, "What is Humanism? How do you live without a god? And Other Big Questions for Kids," which looks at how humanists approach fundamental questions about morals, ethics, and the origins of life. Kate Smurthwaite, patron of the Humanist society and feminist, atheist comedian and activist. Internationally, she is probably best-known as the star of a viral video in which she claims that she doesn't have a faith because she is not an idiot. Justin Brierley, writer, documentary maker and broadcaster behind the book and podcast series, 'The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God'. Over the course of his work Justin looks at why new atheism grew old and why secular thinkers are considering Christianity again. Producers: Alexa Good & Linda WalkerEditor: Tim Pemberton

This episode (no. 69) was recorded at The Guildhall in Faversham on 20th October 2024, as part of The Faversham Fringe. The panellists were Kate Smurthwaite, Jude Sach and Micky Gibbons, and the host was Richard Pulsford. We presented the following On This Day topics: - Thomas Bartholin, Danish physician, discoverer of the human lymphatic system, born 20th October 1616 - The Treaty of 1818, which settled the US-Canada border, 20th October 1818 - The Battle of Navorino (Greek War of Independence), 20th October 1827 - Oxford colleges grant women's colleges equal status, 20th October 1959 - Some thoughts from Snoop Dogg, born 20th October 1971 - Some thoughts from Liz Truss, who stepped down as UK PM, 20th October 2022 Certainly, the topic on the Treaty of 1818 suddenly seems much more relevant, as we discussed the then settling of the US-Canada border, when the US last gave up some of its territory, and when Canada last stopped being mindful of a possible US invasion.

Welcome to this episode of the MidAtlantic podcast where we look at the news and views for both sides of The Atlantic. I'm your host, Roifield Brown, and joining me today are a panel of keen observers from across the globe: Kate Smurthwaite and Tonye Altrade from London, Michael Donahue from Los Angeles, and Zee Cohen Sanchez tuning in from Nevada.

2014 is our destination this week, for that year's ‘News At Kate' from Kate Smurthwaite. Smurthwaite's TV writing credits include ‘Have I Got News For You' and ‘The Revolution Will be Televised' her words have appeared in The Guardian, New Statesman, Cosmopolitan, and more; and she has made countless appearances discussing politics over the years. 2022 saw the award-winning Smurthwaite bring “The News At Kate: Humanity's Last Hope” to the Edinburgh Fringe. “The News At Kate” is a lynchpin of the Fringe, and it's been part of August for as long as I can remember. 2014 saw “The News” with the delightful tagline of “Lefty Cockwomble”. The tag came about following her appearance on the BBC's Question Time. With so many people asking her about her experience, this highly visible foray into political debate was the starting point for that year's show that examined the definitions of freedom of speech. There have been countless political whirlwinds since 2014. Yet some of the points raised remain just as pertinent, if not more, in 2022's devastating landscape. So let's head back to 2014, to the Free Fringe stage in Viva Mexico, to the ‘News At Kate'.

Rich Peppiatt explains definitively why UKIP get so much TV coverage, Elis James dissects Ed Miliband mercilessly and yet with great mercy, and feminist comedian Kate Smurthwaite cracks the best dick joke. Alistair Barrie and Nick Revell also lurking as usual.
