Freethought Radio

Over the last couple months, FFRF has been making incredible strides in promoting freethought on a national scale. With a national radio campaign on Air America Radio, full page ads in the progressive national journal of opinion The Nation.

Now a radio show which will be airing on the local, well-known Air America Radio Station, an FM radio station! I hope these are the first steps in bringing forth a Freethought revolution.

The feisty Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a Madison, Wis.-based national association of atheists and agnostics, is launching a new radio show, Freethought Radio, this week. Freethought Radio is believed to be the only weekly radio broadcast devoted to "the secular point of view" in North America.

Listeners can wake up Saturdays to Freethought Radio from 8 - 9 a.m. on 92.1 FM, "The Mic, Madison's Progressive Talk," in Madison (the local "Air America" station). The show is streamed live at www.themic921.com. The Foundation podcast will be available at the Foundation's website, www.ffrf.org, by May 1.

The premiere show will feature the irreverent, freethinking views of one of America's most beloved lyricists, Yip Harburg, who wrote "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "April in Paris" and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime." The late Harburg, who defined himself as "an ardent agnostic," also penned light verse, Rhymes for the Irreverent, which was recently reprinted by the Foundation. Interviewed will be his son, Ernie Harburg, president of the Yip Harburg Foundation of New York City, and a former Madison resident.
