What’s so great about the Great Beyond?

“What’s So Great About the ‘Great Beyond’?” — a visually rich episode — shares the wise, philosophical and sometimes humorous views of well-known nonbelievers (such as scientists, authors, actresses and even a football player) who reject claims of life after death, eternal damnation or heavenly rewards.

Hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor play a clip of Sagan’s partner in life and profession, Ann Druyan, discussing how Sagan lived and died a nonbeliever. Other video clips showcase the wisdom of philosopher Bertrand Russell, journalist Susan Jacoby, comedian Julia Sweeney and God Delusion author Richard Dawkins. The half-hour show concludes with a Barker song, “No Hurry To Die,” and a short cartoon video, “Heaven,” based on a witty poem by Rupert Brooks, set to music by Barker and animated by Kati Treu.
