We are a de-converted Catholic couple who have decided to take our daily discussions, rants, mockery, and sarcasm about religion and other unfounded beliefs to the world of podcasting. Religion has long dominated the world of ideas by demonizing those who openly question its dogmas. Conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and paranormal beliefs sweep through our culture unchecked. The best way to combat these ideas is through doubt, open inquiry, and the scientific method. Imagination and creativity are what makes humans amazing, but claiming truth without evidence can have dangerous consequences.
We are both strict vegetarians and fitness enthusiasts, but we are not pretentious about it. It just works for us. We also have a Starbucks addiction and a love for spiced rum. We are advocates equality and inclusion, and despise the injustices of a society fueled by unsupported beliefs. We are passionate fans of hockey, the band phish, and sarcastic humor.
