The Channel Austin studios will be closed for renovations during June, July, and August. We will be airing re-runs at our usual time and channel on Austin Cable Access.

Beginning June 14th, we will do live, ustream-based shows from the Dillahunty International Studios (or some other living room). We invite our audience to join us on ustream and participate at our usual broadcast time (4:30pm Central). You can even call in via Skype, following these instructions:

Download and set up Skype on your computer.
Add "atheisttv" to your contacts list.
If you'd like to participate, send an instant message to us with your name, location, and the subject of your call.
Hang around and wait for us to call you.

We will also be producing podcasts and video archives of these shows, as usual. Expect delays in these post-production aspects of our show.

After the Channel Austin renovations are complete, we'll resume our normal broadcast and streaming schedule. Watch this web site for our eventual return date. We hope you stay with us during this challenging time.

The Atheist Experience TV Show

Atheist Experience #611: Bible's Greatest Hits (Genesis II)

What is the Atheist Experience?

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. Every week we field live calls from atheists and believers alike, and you never know what you're going to get! Sometimes it can get quite feisty indeed! You don't want to miss it.

The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin. The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

See Frank's "You're the Devil!" promo, right, or all our promos.

See our show archive page for more information.

We are now experimenting with a live Internet stream of the show. Tune in during air time.

Want to help us continue our work?

Consider making a donation to the general fund of the Atheist Community of Austin. The donation will help keep the show on the air (and your computer) with high quality content each week.

Can I meet the cast and crew?

Yes! Typically the cast and crew goes to a meet-up after the show. Atheist and atheist-friendly people are welcome to join us. We really enjoy meeting our viewers!

Where is the dinner meet-up after the show?

For the summer vacate-ion, we have the meet-up after the live TV show on Sunday at:

Restaurant:: Pluckers Wing Bar at Lakeline Mall
Location:: 11066 Pecan Park Boulevard (South East of Lakeline Mall)
Time:: Sundays around 6:30 pm, or soon after the show end. Note: We won't be there if the show isn't live!
More information:: Plucker's Web Site and a Map

We change restaurants periodically and we try to meet at various locations around Austin. We're always looking for suggestions for good places to eat. If you have a favorite spot you would like to meet, send us an e-mail.

Dinner after the September 9, 2007 show

Viewers and listeners, give us your feedback.

E-mail us your feedback or questions. We will try to respond to you in e-mail or on the air. Due to our now international audience, we're sometimes not able to respond to all e-mails. All e-mails to us are read by the hosts and crew.

ACA members, want to help?

The Atheist Experience can always use extra helping hands in the studio. Tasks involve screening phone calls, manning the communication with the host so Matt will know who the heck's on the phone, running Camera 2, or just being a cheering supportive studio audience member (we love those!). Talk to Matt, Steve, or Joe at one of our gatherings if you'd like to help us on the show, and they'll give you directions to the studio.

Want to be on as a guest?

Also, if you think you'd like to be an on-air guest, contact us. We are interested in scientists, philosophers, or people with topics apropos to an atheist forum. We do not accept guests whose primary purpose is promoting theism. There are plenty of other shows on the air for that. Try one of those instead. We have always welcomed theistic callers.
