Those of you who were at the Global Atheist Convention or have been following this blog may be interested to know that ABC Radio National’s Encounter program will be broadcasting a program on contemporary atheism based around the ideas and themes of the convention.

The program will feature interviews with AC Grayling, PZ Myers, Dan Barker, Tamas Pataki and others, as well as comments from members of the audience and excerpts from some of the convention presentations, and from the earlier debate in Sydney between Dan Barker and Cardinal George Pell.

The first broadcast is on ABC Radio National on Sunday, April 18th, beginning at 7.10 am, and the program is repeated on Wednesday, April 21th at 7.10 pm. It will also be available as an audio stream and a written transcript at our website – http://www.abc.net.au/rn/encounter/default.htm.
