David Ellis Dickerson, Writer for “The American Bible Challenge”

In this bonus episode, Hemant spoke with David Ellis Dickerson. He’s a writer mostly known for his many appearances on “This American Life,” telling stories about growing up a conservative Christian in Tucson, Arizona. In 2013, he became an Emmy-nominated game show writer for his work on the Christian game show “The American Bible Challenge,” which aired on the Game Show Network and can now be seen on Netflix.

Be sure to watch his recent (hilarious) TEDArchive talk.

We spoke about how our paths inadvertently crossed about a decade ago, how an atheist gets a job writing for a Christian game show, and what “SEX DUO” has to do with the Bible.
