Friday was our second Confab employing the new and improved format. (It'd be a bargain at twice the price!) We began the show with a laughter bit about Tom Cruise and Scientology, which led immediately into some chatter about faith and religion. Luckily, we dumped all that serious stuff for some lighter fare: the ol' abortion debate. If you stick around long enough, you'll get to the good part about Rachele's recent breakup.

• Rachele Cawaring
• Brian Gaither
• Richard Huff
• Will Kelley-Kamp
• Jeff Smith
• Keith Vaitkus

• Faith and Religion
• When life begins
• The strangest breakup, ever.

Based on a lot of reader e-mail and feedback, we've made a number of big changes to the show this week, which we collectively refer to as "Confab 2.0". The show now makes use of edits and fades between topics, and we've changed up a number of other things as well. We'd love to know what you think.

Our guests this week:

• Allie Gerlach
• John Kaufmann
• Philip Shaw
• Gavin Shearer
• Jeff Smith
• Keith Vaitkus

Topics included:

• Dating dealbreakers
• Does memorization = learning?
• "Toxic Mortgages" and financial education
