This week, I first discuss the recent presidential election and the importance now more than ever of critical thinking and recognizing the misinformation spread rampantly on social media. After that is my interview with David Niose, author, activist and lawyer. He is the former president of the American Humanists Association and the Secular Coalition of America. We discuss humanism and secular activism, the anti-intellectualism movement, systemic problems with education and media and what we can do about it. Please comment away and let me know your feedback or if you have any questions or comments you'd like me to address on air.
