I've enjoyed this podcast. The presenter is truly graceful and very sensitive towards believer's feelings.

Fantastic podcast

I always listen to this podcast as soon as it pops up in my feed. Its not anti-religion, but rather anti- hypocritical assholes behaving badly. I find it extremely interesting and engaging. They stay current about things happening each week and give good updates on stories.
Jessica... uffda. I have a lot of mixed feelings. She definitely takes a bit of getting used to. However, she is a good sounding board for Hement and makes the show much more entertaining. If only she would stop blowing air out of her nose directly into the microphone when she laughs. Get it together girl!

My (progressive) christian friends love it.

As far as atheist pod casts go, the Friendly Atheist is one that ‘truly you guys’ delivers some of the most well researched and context rich perspectives. Hemant, in contrast to many of his contemporaries, approaches topics like a reporter, regularly seeking comments from parties involved. As someone who listens to several atheist podcasters, I often hear them crediting Hemants research. But the podcast would not be what it is without Jessica. She’s quick to get excited and jump to conclusions, sometimes blundering into the conversation in ways that could come off as ignorant. But I’ve come to see her approach as a sort of brutal honesty and vulnerability. If Jessica were not present to help us digest Hemant’s stories, the podcast might just be another sober, maybe even depressing podcast (most of Hemant’s stories are bad news). Jessica gives the listener space to ‘feel’ the news, whether it be worry, loss, rage, or delightful schadenfreude.
Jessica also offers a sharp feminist perspective that this mostly straight male reviewer often misses. If you care about the latest news from the world of atheism and religiosity, the Friendly Atheist delivers. Highly recommend.

Jessica's anger in this episode truly resonated with me and I actually found it comforting not feeling alone with my own anger.

Great Episode

It's difficult for me to state just how much I enjoy this show, it is the only podcast that I listen to "religiously" and can't wait for new episodes every week. Hemant and Jess, keep doing what you're doing, it's inspirational and crucial for people to hear everything you guys have to say. Jess doesn't always make me feel great about being a middle-aged white dude in America, but I get it... Love you guys!

A safe space in an unsafe world...
