The shadows we live in | Casey Karaman

Casey Karaman never expected the biography of an urban planner to change the way he saw the world. But the nearly five years it took to work his way through that one massive biography changed his view of himself, those around him, and the way our lives are dictated by decisions made by people we will never know—people whose shadows loom over us. Casey Karaman is a writer, performer, improviser, and teacher who has worked with the Washington Improv Theater. Casey has performed in multiple theater productions, most recently in Second City's “Love Factually” at the Kennedy Center. He lives in Los Angeles.

My tangled feelings at Ramadan | Eiynah

Raised in Saudi Arabia in a Muslim family of Pakistani background, and now an atheist living in Canada, Eiynah knows something about displacement, and disorientation, and the yearning for the lost familiar. Although she left Islam under her own power and is a strong critic of religion, her childhood and culture are intertwined in Islam. And each year, when the holy month of Ramadan comes around, she is struck by a complicated mix of emotions. Eiynah is an atheist of Pakistani background who grew up Muslim in Saudi Arabia. She is a critic of both religion and online ‘movement atheism’. She is host of the Polite Conversations Podcast and the miniseries Woking Up, and the author and illustrator of the first Pakistani anti-homophobia children’s book, My Chacha is Gay. She lives in Canada.

I love that each episode is narrated by someone new. Every individual human experience and perspective is unique, and Human Story celebrates that in a playful way that’s also short and easy to listen to!

FriendlyAtheist

I’ve listened to many atheist-themed podcasts over the years (and host one of my own), but rarely have I encountered one that focuses on the broad scope of humanism, exudes positivity, and discusses life beyond the question of God’s existence. This show offers conversations about Humanism without denigrating believers. That alone makes it stand out. Add to that the quality of production and voices that are outside the usual “New Atheists,” and you really have something special. I was proud to be a part of one episode and even prouder to listen to the others.

I learn something every time I listen to these. I love that it’s just one person, telling a story. That’s it. Definitely looking forward to the upcoming episodes.
