89: Richard Dawkins (+ Paul Bloom and Shaun Attwood)

from heretics. · host Andrew Gold

Richard Dawkins is one of the biggest names in science. His The God Delusion, which contends that a supernatural deity does not exist, flipped the world upside down in 2006 when it came out, bringing both science and atheism into the mainstream. I interview him today alongside former ecstasy mob boss Shaun Attwood, before a free bonus section with Professor Paul Bloom of Yale and Toronto.

Heretic in the House Shalom Hartman Institute of North America America has a fascination with Hasidic Jews; they show up frequently in memoirs, in newspapers, and even on Netflix.
