Unlock the surprising truth about spirituality, belief, and the nature of consciousness with Austin DiValentino — a philosopher exploring the space between atheism and the divine. In this thought-provoking episode, Austin challenges everything you thought you knew about religion, morality, and the search for meaning, all rooted in deep curiosity, philosophical rigor, and a humble, open mind.
Discover how a background influenced by childhood questions, profound loss, and a relentless quest for understanding shaped Austin’s unique perspective on the Big Questions. He shares how his obsession with death, existentialism, nihilism, and idealism springs from real-world tragedy and genuine curiosity — not dogma or allegiance. Whether it’s the problem of evil, the nature of truth, or the origin of consciousness, Austin offers fresh insights into age-old debate, emphasizing that caring for human beings should always eclipse the search for absolute “truth.”

ABOUT THE HOST:
Nicole Spencer is the host and curator of Spirituality for Skeptics, a show that explores the shift from doubt to belief through raw, transformative conversations. Raised without spirituality or religion, she never expected to find herself on this path. In her mid-30s, mentors and personal experiences opened her to curiosity about the unseen, inspiring her to create a space where others could explore freely without dogma or prescription.
Through unpolished, emotionally honest stories, Spirituality for Skeptics offers a rare space for those who doubt but long to believe.
