Sam and Libbie talk with author and activist Valerie Tarico about acquisitions and mergers of hospitals into Franciscan and Providence Catholic health care systems in Washington State.

There are show notes.

This week, Sam is joined by Becky and Nick as he talks about a recent argument from “Prager University”, a project by talk show host Dennis Prager.   Sam has blogged about him previously.   We also go over some similarly bad arguments coming out of the media, as well as catch up on a few emails and updates.

There are show notes.

The people who want their opinions codified into law never stop, so we have some new cases to discuss. Becky and Mike join Sam once again as we talk about blasphemy in the US and around the world, as well as updates from the worlds of UFOlogy, makeup application, and bomb detection.

We’ve covered a lot of territory in 150 episodes of Ask an Atheist! This week, Mike, Becky, and Sam revisit some of our favorite stories from over the last three years and ask the inevitable question: What happened next?

Also, we’ll discuss the new discrimination coming out of Olympia.

Join Sam, Dan, and Becky as we discuss the news and answer some emails, take a break and have some fun after a trying couple of weeks.
