The Street Epistemology Podcast

Recorded: 22 July 2018 Uploaded: 31 August 2018 Released: 31 August 2018 YouTube: http://tinyurl.com/DDETSEFB2 Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/DDETSEFB Twitter: http://tinyurl.com/DDETSETW Watch video of this talk here: https://youtu.be/ja9ygctdHzc I had a wonderful talk with a woman, whom I forgot to ask her name. She was very open and honest. Sorry for the poor lighting. I also had the camera facing my board the first portion of the interview. She seemed to take an interest in it. I think IL's could benefit from looking at the thought process we covered. It also helps the vibe that we are examining this belief together. In the future I'll try to take opportunities to show my scribbling's to the IL when I repeat what their saying or doing a summary. Music provided by Chet Hovatter.

Pretoria, South Africa Recorded: 30 June 2018 Published: 8 August 2018 Released: 8 August 2018 Watch video of this chat here: https://youtu.be/o3EdyxJBhNY Jennie was brought up in a Roman Catholic home and is 90% confident that the Christian god exists. Although personal experiences affirm the belief, she falls back on trust and patience in times of doubt. We investigate the reliability of her method to arrive at her specific god and how someone who is less patient could go about confirming whether the god exists.

San Antonio, Texas Recorded: 2 July 2018 Uploaded: 2 August 2018 Released: 2 August 2018 Twitter: https://twitter.com/magnabosco Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/magnabosco210 Website: http://anthonymagnabosco.com Watch video of this talk here: https://youtu.be/1d1L4mcrcvw IMPORTANT LINKS BELOW! Kim thinks that she converses with her God, so we chat about that while her friend sits in the shade to wait and listen. The conversation is rather standard, but later, as the two return to begin their hike, something wonderful happens. Related: Music provided by Chet Hovatter. Audio correction provided by Philipp Grzemba. Mistakes: I wish we had explored the meaning of the word "apathetic" a bit more, to see if that label really does apply to Kim. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes so that I can address them here for self-improvement.

Anthony Magnabosco is a worldwide promoter and practitioner of Street Epistemology, which is a conversational method for respectfully challenging claims by asking probing questions to uncover the reliability of one's belief formation process. He has appeared on The Thinking Atheist, The Atheist Experience, The David Pakman Show, Cognitive Dissonance, The Friendly Atheist Podcast and blog, as well as several other podcasts and shows. Anthony has inspected hundreds of people’s beliefs using this approach, frequently uploads videos of those discussions to his YouTube channel, and has given several talks, interviews and workshops on the subject. Be prepared to question your own conclusions on how to effectively engage with a God believer or anyone else who happens to make a claim!
