Shameful Nature

I begin the episode talking about my deconversion from Christian to Atheist. Then I talk about the life and murder of Madalyn Murray O'Hair. A controversial figure, for sure, but not deserving of her tragic end.

This episode is the audio from the Greetings from Nowhere/Shameful Nature crossover live episode from YouTube. It was originally broadcast on the GFN YouTube page at https://youtube.com/@nowherestaff?si=6xthGMitPCysAsJQ. We talk about quite a few topics that have been hitting the news lately. BTW, my lisp is working overtime in this episode. I'm wondering if it's cause I use a homemade pop filter normally. But I didn't want that ugly thing on camera so didn't use it. I've since bought a professional looking one for next time. But damn, even after almost a year, I still hate the sound of my own voice.

A little politics talk and a mental health update. I've been having a tough time lately but still fighting. Then I dive into the John Wayne Gacy case. OMG, these big cases are gonna do me in. It's hard to get out the details before my voice starts leaving me.
