Podcaster Reggie Finley, Sr., host of The Infidel Guy podcast, and his family will be featured on the ABC television show Wife Swap. The series is a "reality" show that examines differences in how Americans live their lives by having women from families with contrasting lifestyles exchange positions for two weeks.
According to ABC's description, "An outdoors-loving mom whose pastor husband speaks to god 100 times a day swaps places with an outdoors-hating computer-obsessed wife of an athiest disc jockey."
Finley describes himself as a "lifetime educational activist, quasi-humanist and atheist." The Infidel Guy show discusses critical thinking, free thought, atheism, humanism, skepticism, reason, science, and religion and spiritual beliefs.
The show features the Finley family "swapping" mothers with the family of Kelly and Jeff Stonerock. The Stonerocks live in suburban Michigan with their four children. Jeff is the pastor of the town's Pentecostal church and Kelly is its "First Lady."
Kelly travels to the urban Georgia home of Amber and Reggie Finley. The Finleys are raising three children. Reggie spends 80 hours a week working from home, broadcasting his own internet radio show and running a website devoted to atheism.
The episode is scheduled to air November 28th.
I hate to admit it, but "Wife Swap" has been much more entertaining than most "reality" shows. I'll be watching this tonight, and if we're real lucky, there might be a repeat of that delightful fundamentalist woman from Louisiana who was on a few weeks ago.
