I'm grateful to have the chance to chat with her one on one, across a variety of topics from Minnesota Atheists to the conferences she has organized and some behind the scenes radio stuff.

Ep 46 Slurm Flirty Worm
A Minnesota Trans-Atheist
This episode features an interview with a really fun punk band from the Pacific Northwest, Slurm Flirty Worm. Slurm's drummer and back up vocalist (Abbi) is trans, and a listener local to Slurm helped connect Abbi and I. The whole band, Abbi, Michael, & Zakk are awesome, and I had a lot of fun chatting with them about how they got their name, what kind of music they play, and of course which hot pockets are the best hot pockets.

- 05:05 Interview with Brianna
- 63:03 Closing Music introduction by Bradley Ard
My guest today is a local listener, where local is defined as living about an hour south of me in the gorgeous town of Rochester, Minnesota. I say gorgeous because it has lots of bike trails, and if you fall down and get hurt you’re never more than a block away from some part of the Mayo clinic.
Brianna and I were exchanging emails for at least the last year, I’m pretty sure it was before she even began medically transitioning. We talked about atheism, transitioning, family, being married, staying married….and I realized I was talking about someone going through some of the same kind of things I was going through…and thus began the process of getting her on the show.
I hope enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it, because this was one of those conversations that didn’t need a microphone. It was just a lovely conversation with a lovely person, and at the end of it I left a better person for it.

Hey did you hear about the little boy who farted in church? Everyone just let him sit in his own pew!
Why did Cinderella get kicked off the softball team? Because she kept running away from the ball!
What do you make with epileptic lettuce? A seizure salad
What did the big bucket say to the little bucket? You look a little pail!
Okay, that's enough bad jokes for one episode
