Declaring Independence is a weekly one-hour radio show that focuses on current events and political discussion, with a particular focus on law, religion and science. Declaring Independence is hosted by Ed Brayton, the voice behind the popular blog Dispatches from the Culture Wars.

Each week on Declaring Independence you will hear in-depth interviews with investigative reporters, newsmakers and experts on the issues of the day. Ed will also bring his background as a standup comedian to such segments as:

• Wingnut of the Week: A segment that looks at the amusing and the absurd from the world of religious fundamentalism.
• The PH Factor: PH stands for "political hypocrisy," something that is never in short supply in America. On this segment, we rate the degree of hypocrisy displayed by our political leaders as they flip and flop out of political convenience.
• Dumbass Quote of the Week: Each week we shine a light on the single dumbest thing anyone said the week before. No, it's not difficult finding candidates for this award.
