Anyone else a watcher of "The Atheist Experience"?
Most weeks I watch, and about a month ago even managed to get in a very brief call myself. Links found through the link here:

I had just mis-understood the host's, Matt Dillahunty, views on whether or not a god likely does not exist.

“The Atheist Experience” is a personal favorite podcast that I usually watch, and this evening managed to be even a caller on it. Yay! In recent weeks I had become unclear about some things Matt Dillahunty (the main host, appearing on the right side of your screen) was saying about whether God likely does not exist, and had trouble reconciling his statements. The relevant link is:

39:50 to 41:00
That is the very brief portion that I was on speaking with both hosts. Afterwards they then discussed the matter among themselves, from:
41:00 to 45:15
At a certain point shortly after I was chatting with them, my call became disconnected (intentional or unintentional?). Some of their answers still surprise and confuse me a bit, and I wish I could discuss in more detail in person with them. Oh well. I think he is confused a bit, partly due to some semantics.
I experience stage fright and have a public speaking phobia as well, and was surprised that during the call I actually did not have those. Though there was a moment of stutter, it was not the result of nervousness. It was just my usual speaking difficulties from some cognitive deficits. My nervousness actually kicked in *after* the call ended, when I realized I was just on the show! So I will never host a show myself. Kewl to have this experience though.
