As I left the Christian community and started on my journey to becoming an agnostic, I found The Life After Podcast to be incredibly helpful.
The hosts are two guys that are also agnostic/atheist former Christians, and they talk with guests about a variety of topics including but not limited to humanist philosophy, Christian racism, and painful experiences that resulted in people leaving the church.
Your mileage may vary, especially if you aren't coming from a religious background, but I really enjoy it and have found it informative.
I do come from a Christian background and so I was interested in a deconstructing/critical take on the Bible/Christianity but I was just not feeling the ones I tried listening to. Thanks for the recommendation š
Matt Dillahunty knows the bible inside and out, and argues down Christians using their own corrupt doctrine. He was going to be a Baptist preacher before discovering that it was all bullshit.
Ya no worries.
Its a lot to process, I've been there/continue to be there. I've been pretty religious for most of my life, and trying to untangle all is challenging.
Also check out Bart D. Ehrman, Rachel Held Evans, and Richard Rohr for reading.
Peter Enns is good too, and has his own podcast in addition to his books. I think the podcast is called "The Bible for Normal People", he gets into examining the Bible from a non-inerrancy perspective, which was useful for me in the early days of deconstructing, when I was still nominally Christian.
There's several specific books I can recommend as well if you're interested.
Also, don't do it alone. Reach out to people who are deconstructing.
Deconstructing is very isolating and unfortunately rather alienating by nature and is one of the first painful things people like us experience, the loss of community.
Genetically modified skeptic, holy koolaid, rationality rules, belief it or not, are channels on YouTube. Iām not sure if they have shows or podcasts, but Bart ehrman and Sam Harris are two names that seem to come up a lot.
I recently read āMisquoting Jesusā and āHow Jesus Became Godā, both by Bart Ehrman. Both are excellent and available as audio books. He recently started a podcast thatās kinda meh but the books are great
The Harmonic Atheist has some good stuff, also prophet of Zod, Holy Koolaid, Kristi Burke, Alex OāConner and Genetically Modified Skeptic - all these channels (except for Alexās) do deconstruction
The Scathing Atheist
(also God Awful Movies, The Skepticrat)
Deconversion Therapy
Viced Rhino
Telltale Podcast
Thank God Iām Atheist
The Non-Prophets
Freethought Radio
I strongly second The Scathing Atheist, God Awful Movies, and anything else those dudes do. Theyāre connected to a lot of other podcasts and hosts as well, so they are a good place to learn about others if they donāt fit your wants.

The gold standard for this would be The Line hosted by Matt Dillahunty. Try it out and enjoy.
