Immediate attention

State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Title Song[edit]

I don't know how to change citations / Source notes so i'm hesitant to switch the entry myself, but they have recently (after some weeks of silent intros with switching to internet based instead of community tv based due to some copyright reasons with for profit internet downloads and the old Brian Stekma song) taken on a new intro melody called "Saved" by Shelley Segal. Source for the info about the current song would e.g. be the first few moments of cast 20.7 from February 21st, although the FAQ that were sourced as the origin of the old information is atm still unchanged and referring to the former song. Would a link to the lyrics on Shelley's page help too? http://www.shelleysegal.com/saved/ 178.203.29.150 (talk) 20:19, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Would a link to the lyrics on Shelley's page help too" no, to be a useful source, it would have to identify that Atheist Experience is using this song. But I think it's fine to change it without a citation, this is not controversial information. The old song can be mentioned too, along with the years when it was used. -- intgr [talk] 00:16, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Wagner's Departure and Past Personalities[edit]

Some weeks ago, Martin Wagner announced he will no longer be co-hosting the show, citing his wish to pursue other projects. I would edit the article to reflect this but I need to find an acceptable source to cite.

Also, the two people listed here as producers, Shelly Roberts and Frank Paschal, have likewise left the show and have been replaced by Mark Vanderbrake and Kevin Carney. This is firsthand knowledge for me, so I can't just edit it based on that without a source. Unfortunately, the show's website has not been updated to reflect this. If someone can find an acceptable source then it could stand to be edited. I will keep an eye out as well.

It occurred to me that there could be a section listing past personnel associated with the show.Beetfarm Louie (talk) 15:42, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
