Seth recently had a bad experience with a church lady on his front steps. This rant/show is largely unprepped and perhaps unhinged, but it's from the heart.
Ah, yes. Another couple of shows on the corrupt &incompetent Trump administration, as it once again intersects with the world of religion. Here we interview Katherine Stewart, who wrote an insightful article on Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and her attempt to undermine public education in favor of private religious schools. Thank God those days are over.
Now that my Christian life experiment has ended, for now, I have some post series sit downs to talk to others on their podcasts and to answer listener questions. This episode features me, The Apostatizer, and Titus and David, a couple of Proselytizers from the Proselytize or Apostatize podcast. We cover my Christian life experiment, their views on modern Christianity and we explore belief and the reasons one might have to become a Proselytizer. You can check out more content from Titus and David via their facebook page Also you can watch the video of our conversation on their youtube channel . Check out their episodes on Apple Podcasts also. We have made our own soundtrack and you can support the podcast by downloading our music via Itunes or wherever you get your music from.

Everyone out of the gene pool! Recorded: 11-27-2018 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/life-is-hard/support
We interview prolific historian John Turner (George Mason University) about Mormonism, the Pilgrims, Billy Graham, and Bill Bright's Campus Crusade for Christ. Find out how the Mormons became nice, the story before and after the "First Thanksgiving", and about a different kind of counter-culture on American college campuses during the '60s.
Freethought Radio takes a trenchant look at recent insensitive religious absurdities by Rev. Pat Robertson, Bishop Robert Morlino, President Trump and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. We play Roy Zimmerman’s satiric “To the Victims of This Tragedy” as commentary on “thoughts and prayers” substituting for action. FFRF Patrick O’Reiley Legal Fellow Chris Line joins us to talk about the hysterical hullabaloo over his recent victory ending football prayer at a Georgia high school. Investigative reporter Katherine Stewart, author of The Good News Club, returns to talk about her new piece about another threat to secular public education, “The Proselytizers and the Privatizers,” appearing in this month’s American Prospect.
Want to be a writer? A career author? In case you haven’t heard, the blank page can be a real A-hole, and the book industry no less intimidating. If you’ve ever wished you could sit down and ask your favorite authors how they do it—how they REALLY pull it off day after day, year after year, book after book—you're going to love this show. Today’s a Celebration Day here at the Beautiful Writers Podcast, our first-ever "Best Of” episode. I’m Linda Sivertsen, your host, and these snippets make up Part I of more to come. Basically, it was IMPOSSIBLE to choose the “best” snippets from 22 hours of audio with the most lovable, talented storytellers in the world (bestsellers like Elizabeth Gilbert, Glennon Doyle Melton, Seth Godin, Brené Brown, Martha Beck, Anne Lamott, Steven Pressfield, and so many others), where all topics were fair game. If you’re already a fan of the show, I think you’ll love reliving these hilarious, wicked smart moments. If you’re new here, we’ll hopefully leave you wanting more. Every episode we’ve done, from the show’s inception with Danielle LaPorte and me to the past 14 months where I’ve brought on different monthly celebrity guest hosts, they’ve all been dear to me. Most of our interviewees are on a book tour at the time of our chats, and with combined book sales in the hundreds of millions, they know just what to say to bring INSTANT relief and ah-has! no matter where a person is in their life or creative process. I’m still starstruck by every interviewee. I think you may be, too, as evidenced by the fact your 400,000 listens/downloads so far have put us in the top 5% of all podcasts of all categories! GRATEFUL doesn’t even begin to cover it. In closing, I can’t tell you how tempting it was to turn this into a 3-hour episode by including every one of our 26 interviewees. All are survivors. Thrivers. Proselytizers. And their religion is kindness. They’ve faced incredible hardship and more rejection than a family of rats in a restaurant. Yet, they’re still standing. Still laughing. Still giving. Still writing. Rather than short change them (and you!) with snippets too short to get inside of, I’ve broken them up into Part I and II (coming soon). Until then, subscribe here so you never miss an episode. And, of course, you can find all of our interviews in their entirety below and at www.beautifulwriterspodcast.com. Write on, my friend. I’m so very happy you’re here. xo
