Audio & Video
Featuring Dr. Carrier



There are many recordings floating around of my talks, debates, interviews and appearances, some available, some not available, some sold by third parties, and some lost altogether. Everything I know about I have discussed at some point on my blog. See the collected entries there on video [old and new] and audio [old and new]. There is also a growing fan-generated collection on the Atheist Nexus.

But these are the best available audio and video recordings...

For Purchase

 
The God Who Wasn't There. I'm featured only a few times in the main film (including a spot during the credits), but the DVD extras also include extended interviews that many have loved. For more of my thoughts on the film see my blog.

 
Licona vs. Carrier: On the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In my opinion the best debate on the resurrection I've ever done or seen. Many agreed. Thorough, well-organized exchange. Now for free. We also had an interesting rematch in 2010.

 
The Infidel Guy. Over the years I've recorded numerous podcasts with The Infidel Guy. Some of them can be bought at Odeo. Others might still be available through some other conduit (see the The Infidel Guy website). I give a full list on my blog.

 
The Rational Response Squad. I recorded numerous podcasts with The Rational Response Squad a few years ago, on a variety of topics, which I believe can be bought on their website in one way or another. I give a complete list on my blog.

For Free

Bayes' Theorem: Lust for Glory! (2011): Talk I gave at Skepticon IV, not bad attempt at summarizing and illustrating Bayes' Theorem and its implications.

Are Christians Delusional? (2010): Talk I gave at Skepticon III, one of my best yet, summarizing and illustrating the conclusions of The Christian Delusion, with Q&A.

Give a Damn? Uncut (2008): The full uncut interview I gave for the team producing the innovative documentary Give a Damn? on how (or even whether) we should fight world hunger. They shot an hour of footage, and it best exemplifies what a sitdown Q&A with me is like.

Why Science Is Better than Religion and Always Has Been (2008): Talk I gave at a humorous conference (the seminal Skepticon) in which PZ Myers and I were the featured speakers. YouTube video of the event is available along with our joint Q&A. I discuss the content of this on my blog.

Sense and Goodness Without God (2006): Talk I gave on how moral facts follow from scientific facts, drawing from my book of the same title but adding new material and perspective. I discuss the content of this on my blog. A formal and rigorous defense of its argument has now appeared in print as the final chapter of The End of Christianity.

Does God Not Exist? [Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] (2004): Famous four-way team debate before an audience of a thousand Muslims. Dan Barker and I defend atheism and naturalism, Hassanain Rajabali and Michael Corey defend God. A free edit is available on YouTube, though it might still be possible to buy a DVD of the four-hour event (see FFRF). I discuss and analyze this debate in detail, exposing serious errors or deceptions of our opponents, on The Secular Web.

Polyschizmatic Reprobates Hour: I've done two podcasts for this great show so far. I discuss PRH on my blog. Episodes are available for free: [Season 1 Episode 4] [Season 3 Episode 3] [Season 3 Episode 4]. The first of those is the best interview I've ever done on my book Sense and Goodness without God. Dan Sawyer asks superb questions and keeps the interview interesting all throughout, ranging into rarely discussed topics like my philosophy of aesthetics, or how I differ from other metaphysical naturalists. The second two episodes comprise a two-part lambaste of Rodney Stark's embarrassing forray into ancient history, where I pillory his claim that Christianity made science possible, by educating the listener on the actual historical facts of Greco-Roman science. This culminated in a formal scholarly presentation of the same case in print as the last chapter of The Christian Delusion.
