I'm actually subscribed to them on Youtube and I have a link in my favorites tab to their website and I visit it occasionally.
Matt Dilihaunty (if I spelled that correctly) seem like a very intelligent and nuanced man as are the others on the channel. I have a great deal of respect for them and what they do and even though they're a public broadcast channel show on a shoebox budget, they still take a LOT of flak by the religious folks (both sane and insane) desbite being such a modest outlet for our minority.
I hope to see more of that sort of thing in the future and in Texas of all places. It makes me feel a bit better for moving here from Indiana.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
