The theme of Saturday's Freethought Radio is the Winter Solstice,
and it will feature an interview with Tom Flynn, author of
"The Trouble with Christmas," and the song, "Solstice Tribute," by
Dan Barker. As Freethought Radio's solstice treat for listeners,
the show will broadcast an excerpt from Julia Sweeney's "Letting Go
of God" one-woman play, in which the comedian reads the bible and
discovers it isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Freethinkers
Almanac features songwriter Jay Gorney ("Brother, Can You Spare a
Dime?"). A rare song by by blacklisted Gorney celebrating the Bill
of Rights, recorded by freethinker Paul Robeson, will also play.
Freethought Radio is a production of the Freedom From Religion
Foundation, and is co-hosted by Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor
of the Foundation. (MP3, 49 min, 22,4 MB)
