1. Please invite PZ back
As already mentioned by another commenter, I too wanted to hear more about those whales. Please invite PZ back to finish where he left off on a later show. 
 
Overall Good debut! The initial segment on HR 888 was a little long. There is no way to rebut all of the 'whereas' clauses (not that you did). It might have been better refer listeners to your site for more indepth analysis - just highlight the who, what and how to make our voices known.  
Kudos for having Professor Dawkins on. I will tune in via podcast from time to time. 
 
Greetings from Delaware

Loved the show! I was troubled by the early call-in. There most likely wasn't the time to convince the caller, but the point needs to constantly be made to the fellow and his friends that his God is not Jefferson's god. By the caller's logic, Gandhi was a christian.

3. I liked hearing the ad
I hope that Cucumbers Restaurant has a surge of customers (and you get a few more advertisers). 
 
And I'm sure the hosts will learn to warn the guests when they're running out of time.

4. Thanks From Oregon
Hi. I listened to your first radio show today and enjoyed. Kudos to you! I very much enjoyed the segment debunking specific claims made in that ridiculous House of Reps bill. You might want to consider a call in screener to keep the callers off their soapboxes. Got very tedious when Dawkins could have been talking instead. 
 
Thanks from an Oregon atheist.

5. Great first show
I one thing I noticed was that the introduction to the show was completely redone in post. August's explanation of H RES 888 was not as long on the original radio broadcast as in the podcast. The P.Z. Myers segment being cut off was more because of time constraints than anything.  
 
This radio show is still the best thing MNA's ever done! I've listened to this show eight times already during work this past week.
