Editor's Note: Once a month, HNN produces an Internet radio talkshow, called a podcast. This edition of the HNN e-zine contains only two articles. The next article will contain a transcript of last month's HNN Audio Podcast, for those who do not want or cannot listen to our podcast. Questions? Click here.
In HNN Audio Podcast #13, we explore the topic of sex from a humanist perspective. Please be advised that the theme of this show is adult in nature and some portions may not be appropriate for certain listeners. We speak with sex therapist Marty Klein, Ph.D, cartoonist Jeff Swenson and humanist advice columnist Molleen Matsumura, a.k.a. "Sweet Reason." Film critic Carolyn Braunius reviews Shortbus. And as a very special treat we perform a radio play, "Humanist Love - Deist On Top".
