Due to the podcasts I listen to, I sometimes forget that this isn't common knowledge.
Got a recommendation? I'd be interested in hearing a thoughtful discussion about this.
One show that talks about them fairly consistently is The Scathing Atheist, but I couldn't tell you which episodes to listen to specifically. Also good to know, that name is not hyperbolic.
