| Greg Laden: "Missionaries in Africa" on Atheists Talk #0076, Sunday, June 28, 2009 |
|
Missionaries tell us that they are saving the world, traveling to
foreign lands to help the natives. Of course, "saving the world" means
something a little different to those of us who don't believe there's a
Satan who needs to be battled at every turn. We usually mean saving
lives and bettering standards of living, actions that have meaning in
the here and now. How do missionaries do in that regard?
Biological anthropologist Greg Laden joins Stephanie Zvan to talk about his experiences with missionaries in the remotest parts of Africa and answer questions about what missions really offer the indigenous populations. He'll tell us about the good and the bad and let us know where we need to step up to provide secular help uncomplicated by the religion of the missionaries. This will be the final live Atheists Talk on the radio and the last podcast for a while, until we get the details of the ongoing podcast worked out. If you're not attending the Pride Parade with the Minnesota Atheists delegation, please consider joining us at Q.Cumbers after the show to celebrate our long and successful radio run.

... What happened? You guys make this quick announcement at the end but give no explanations or reasons as to why? I am really sad to see you guys go. Thanks --JK-- |

... JK, Thanks for your question. While we have received hundreds of dollars in donations to our radio show fund, each and every one is very appreciated, the costs to maintain the show were just too high. We did have advertisers, but could never find enough sponsors to cover the full cost of running our show. This may have happened six months earlier, if the studio was not willing to decrease our show cost from $350 per hour to $200, but the reduction was accepted. We were not granted that same price going forward. We will be going forward with a podcast only format soon. It may take us a few weeks to hammer out final production, but if you are subscribed to Atheists Talk, you will receive our new shows. Thanks for listening! |
