Thinking Unenslaved

The Thinking Unenslaved Radio Show began in August, 2010 after I left the ThinkAtheist Radio Show. I only did a few shows before the confluence of schedules and responsibilities throughout the fall and early winter took me off the air.

In the second week of January, 2011, I started the show back up again, this time with the help of the following fabulous co-hosts/frequent participants (you’ll meet them below). The show is a fast-paced discussion on a variety of topics relating to the general subjects of Secularism, Secular Humanism, Humanism, Atheism, Agnosticism, and general Skepticism. Sometimes, we pull the subject matter out of our own back pockets, sometimes we use the writings and musings of our friends and fellow bloggers and vloggers as launching points for our discussions, and sometimes we’ll expound upon the writings, discussions and videos of luminaries in the secularist/skeptic/atheist community. We find that it’s that quality of never quite knowing what you’re going to get from us that gives the show its special charm.

We would like to introduce ourselves:

Dawnne Gee (your “unfaithful” host) | dawnne.com | @Synthaetica

Dawnne Gee is the former host of the “ThinkAtheist Radio Show” (blogtalkradio.com/thinkatheist/), a former Military Intelligence specialist and a former Music Composition/English Literature major. These days, he’s a software guy with a penchant for the quality assurance side, and a freelance acerbic butthead with his roots firmly embedded in Secular Humanism and anti-theism. Dawnne has a pretty diverse background and decided long ago to never quit learning, so hosting the show is but a part of that educational process. He is patently not one of those annoying touchy-feely humanists who believe humanity is actually capable of getting along for an appreciable measure of time, but he is occasionally surprised by the seeming promise of the actions of humans around him. Unrelatedly, his name is pronounced like sunrise.
