My first one is currently Bill Hader: [volume alert: it's quieter] [volume alert: it's louder] No, no, let me guess, People Who’ve Met Bill Hader, he’s an asshole, right? You [...]
The Four HorsemenOver at richarddawkins.net you can find an engrossing two hour conversation between the great minds of the secular movement: Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens.
