About a third of Australians don’t follow a religion, but that doesn’t mean they’re all disciples of Richard Dawkins. Even though they disavow organised religion, some atheists are irrational and even superstitious. James Carleton and the God Forbid panel talk about the myriad ways to be atheist.

Linguist hour! Lindsay and I bring you an interview with one of our favourite podcasts, the linguistics show Talk the Talk from Australia. Please take 5 minutes to take our Fluent Show survey! (https://goo.gl/forms/zUObpMQZQbxuzb9n1) We don't often have research scientists on the show, so this was a huge opportunity for the Fluent Show to go into science. We posed your "Ask a Linguist" questions on these topics: Is it a language? Is it a dialect? Talk the Talk had a few insights that I had never heard before. What determines the prestige of a dialect within a language? We looked into how politics and social developments can directly influence how you speak, and how you feel about it. Are there common language learning stages across all languages, for example grammar needed to communicate something? In fact, there are two ways to approach language learning: analysis and pattern-spotting, and learning and copying useful chunks. Which one works? Talk the Talk gave us the science perspective. Plus: What is "glottochronology?" Hedvig quoted this research paper (https://cllp.fireside.fm/admin/episodes/c3e5131e-8302-47e8-a705-ec7cfcce4a4e/links/6fc2b9e9-c216-4d26-9e6d-d7bd00df555f/edit). If we come across a language in the same area that uses different words for the same concepts, does that language come from a different family of languages? In essence, yes. For this one, you need a basic vocabulary list - but they're not all that straightforward. Hedvig and Kylie explain more on this episode. Finally: Podcasting! Also: We talk about what it's like to podcast about languages, and about podcasting in general. If you're not interested in the wider context of language and podcasting authentically...then skip it and you won't miss the linguistics. We do know that many listeners love podcasts and think about starting their own, so for you this discussion is going to be both useful and interesting. Ultimately, we love and support community radio and podcasting. And in that sense...

RTRFM with Leona Devaz - Interview with AFA President Kylie Sturgess - Monday 8th August 2016 It’s that time again – tomorrow evening, Australians across the country will fill in our national Census. Amongst the many not-so-interesting questions there’s one that’s become a bit of a battleground: what is your religion? Australian Atheist Foundation President and RTRFM presenter KYLIE STURGESS is asking people who don’t have a religion to say so.

BBC 5 Live with Rhod Sharp - Interview with AFA President Kylie Sturgess - Tuesday 2nd August
In 2011, the Atheist Foundation of Australia (or AFA) campaigned to encourage individuals and families to think about the importance and impact of their answer to this leading Census question: "What is the person's religion?". The campaign involved billboards nationwide and was highlighted during the two Global Atheist Conventions in 2010 and 2012. The result was a change for 2016 - for the first time since the "no religion" option was introduced in 1991, the Australian Bureau of Statistics will place it first on a list of answers to the question "what is the person's religion", and move the "Catholic" option into second position. President of the Atheist Foundation of Australia Michael Boyd talked to Kylie Sturgess about the changes.
Michael Boyd took over as the President of the Atheist Foundation of Australia in 2013. Yet not many people might know about him! He’s been working with the team to produce press releases, has spoken out in the media, appeared on television and has represented the Australian atheist viewpoint at conferences in Australia - and now in Asia. Kylie Sturgess caught up with Michael after the Philippines Atheists’ PATAS Conference, held at the end of May. He’s even got some news about the much-awaited Global Atheist Convention 3… For more information visit: atheistfoundation.org.au/podcast/ All Atheist Aus Podcast episodes are under the Creative Commons license.

Skyping in from the other side of the planet, Kylie Sturgess is a nop-notch podcaster who uses her media platform to help us get to know various figures in science and skepticism. Rarely, however, does she have the tables turned so folks can actually get to know her. I am pleased to be able to learn more about Kylie; about how she went from academic to ultra-prolific new-media practitioner, her approach to science communication, and which Spice Girl means the most to her. I'm not even kidding about that last one.Duration: 68 minutes.Subscribe to the Obcast in iTunes or through this link.Links from the show: Kylie's podcast Token Skeptic. Kylie's blog by the same name.

This week, Skepticality nears the end of its Amazing Meeting 5 wrap-up. Derek & Swoopy are honored to sit down with retired Lieutenant Colonel Hal Bidlack PhD, who is one of the warmest people in skepticism. Hal discusses not only his Master of Ceremonies role at past and future Amazing Meetings, but also his role as an Alexander Hamilton scholar and his own future career in politics. Then, Swoopy interviews Aussie educators Kylie Sturgess and Michael McRae about their work in bringing skepticism and critical thinking into their classrooms.
