BONUS : Team Rissy (A Tribute to Marissa Alexa Lennex-McCool)

A Leap of Doubt

This special bonus episode is a collaboration between myself and a host of other fellow secular podcasters and friends of the secular podcasting community, a massive crossover episode in which you’ll hear us all tell in our own words we love and support Marissa Alexa Lennex-McCool. Marissa is going to be getting her science vagina operation very soon, and we all felt she could use an outpouring of support from those of us who have been inspired and encouraged by all the work she has done in the secular activism community, whether through her podcasting, her writing, her speaking, or all of the above. Many thanks to my friend, colleague, and editor Rich Lyons of the Living After Faith podcast who, along with Deanna Joy Lyons, came up with this idea and organized it.

If you want to hear Marissa in her own words, I encourage you to check out her podcasts, especially The Inciting Incident Podcast. You may also be interested in listening to Episode #022 of this podcast, in which I had Marissa on as a guest.
