    Sean Feucht Accused of Major Financial Misconduct
    2025/06/20
    Christian musician and COVID-era superspreader Sean Feucht is under fire—this time from within his own ministry. Former colleagues accuse him of financial fraud, abuse of power, and exploiting legal loopholes to avoid IRS scrutiny. In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel tears into religious privilege, unearned trust, and how figures like Feucht weaponize martyrdom to dodge accountability. When belief meets unchecked power, who pays the price?

  • Utah Trans Youth Study Backfires on Politicians

    Utah Trans Youth Study Backfires on Politicians
    2025/06/18
    After a two-year evidence review initiated by Utah’s Republican governor, the data is in: gender-affirming care for youth is safe, effective, and medically justified. But instead of embracing science, lawmakers are ignoring their own study. In this episode, The Non-Prophets take apart the hypocrisy, the religious double standards, and the real human cost of denying care. When truth is inconvenient, some choose cruelty over compassion.

    New Variant Spreads Fast: Signs and Symptoms
    2025/06/16
    The Non-Prophets explore the emergence of a new COVID variant, NB 181, and the public health system’s fragile readiness. With mutations targeting the spike protein and signs of increased transmissibility, scientists are urging caution without panic. The panel unpacks virology basics, shares personal stories of loss, and grapples with America’s deep distrust in institutions like the CDC and FDA. When trust erodes, so does the ability to respond—will we repeat past mistakes?

  • Delaware Passes Death With Dignity Law

    Delaware Passes Death With Dignity Law
    2025/06/13
    Delaware has become the 12th U.S. state to legalize medical aid in dying. In this deeply personal episode of The Non-Prophets, the hosts discuss the hard-won passage of House Bill 140 and the dignity it affords terminally ill patients. They examine the safeguards, ethical debates, and religious opposition to such laws—and why support remains strong despite decades of resistance. This is a story of autonomy, compassion, and the right to choose a peaceful end.

    TX Lawmakers call out Hypocrisy on Commandments Bill
    2025/06/11
    The Non-Prophets take on Texas’ latest Christian nationalist push—a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments. But Rep. James Talarico, a Christian Democrat, is having none of it. In a series of epic takedowns, Talarico grills his colleagues on their hypocrisy, biblical illiteracy, and blatant disregard for the Constitution. The hosts analyze the bill’s legal problems, political motives, and the power of standing up for real religious freedom.

  • CDC Goes Quiet as Disease Spread Grows

    CDC Goes Quiet as Disease Spread Grows
    2025/06/09
    In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel reacts to the alarming halt in CDC communications, with the U.S. now flying blind on public health threats. Budget cuts, mass firings, and political meddling have silenced disease alerts that once informed doctors, hospitals, and the public. The team dives into how dismantling the CDC’s outreach endangers lives, erodes trust in science, and shows contempt for evidence-based governance. It’s not about public safety—it’s about control.

    We all came from ... something like a lizard
    2025/06/06
    In this fossil-fueled episode of The Non-Prophets, the hosts unpack a new discovery: lizard-like footprints in Australia that could rewrite the timeline of tetrapod evolution by 40 million years. From the science of peer review to the philosophical weight of evidence, the panel dives into how science self-corrects, why tentative claims aren't failures, and how our distant past continues to shape our future. Also: religion, dinosaurs, road durability, and… Silurians?

Reporting from Miami Beach Pride, Albernas calls for connection and compassion, even while wrapped in color and confronting serious issues like HIV funding cuts and anti-trans legislation.
