Dean is the executive editor of Relix magazine, founder of Jambands.com, co-creator of the Jammy Awards, and co-author of the new book, “Ticket Masters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped.” www.jambands.com

SUNDAY syndicated program 6/19/11 (hr1)
No subject has been argued about more vehemently than God and religion. Into this contentious terrain steps Vincent Bugliosi, whom many view as America’s foremost prosecutor. In making his case for agnosticism – which he defines as believing that the existence versus nonexistence of God is “unknowable” – Bugliosi takes a very fresh and astonishingly provocative look at the evidence for and against God. One can say without apology that “DIVINITY OF DOUBT: The God Question” is arguably the most powerful indictment ever of God, theism, and atheism within the pages of one book.
