If you are like me and enjoy good discussion between thinking people on important topics,  I would like to recommend a podcast for you called A Christian and an Atheist.   Their web site is  achristianandanatheist.com .  Their brief description of their program is stated in these words on their web site:
“Norton and Emery are the hosts of the show. Though they find themselves on opposite sides of the God question, they remain good friends and enjoy a good old fashioned debate. Then one day they came up with the idea of recording their discussions, and distributing them as podcasts. They have a lot of fun making these shows, though their wives wonder why they have so much time to make silly recordings, and so little time for housework.”
