Alright, let's go. I figured @bazola may be interested as well, since he is an iOS developer.
So, the core organization is a radio show called Dogma Debate. It's a variety talk show that airs lives on Wednesdays, and is then published as a podcast.
It's a great show really. Clean, funny, sometimes emotional. They talk about anything from charity to science to current affairs to church/state separation to civil liberties to finance, all within a secular type of scope.
They often have guest authors and such, and occasionally even invite a Christian apologist live on the show for a segment. I think you would like it if you listened to a few episodes. They are running pretty much everything from one web page, AFAIK.

When the show started getting really big, they diversified into a few other branches, right now it's pretty scattered but I'll try to keep it succint
David Smalley and some of his peers have started recording and marketing audio books specifically aimed at secular/atheist/agnostic/etc. persons. It then funnels through Audible.com to make the purchases.
They have also worked with I Heart Radio in order to host and help market more podcasts, right now they have 3 in addition to the main one. If you click on Partners at the very bottom of the Dogma Debate page you will see them.
They also have a charity setup, I don't recall the name of it right at the moment.
As you can see, and this is where I think a mobile application might be handy, there's a lot of stuff scattered in a lot of places.
I'm going to introduce a new term, the "4th listener". It's an ongoing joke from many episodes ago, where David had two guests, and one of them joked they must be the only 3 people listening to the show. But if you are the 4th listener... And it just stuck from there
If you click on "I Am 4th" at the bottom it takes you to the membership page where you can subscribe to have access to additional content, as well as a live chat room during the show.
Right now Lydia, their media coordinator, uses Twitter to send out information, which is all well and good, but has the limitations of, well, being Twitter.
I think if there was a neat little application where the 4th listener (a fan of the show) could access all this stuff bundled together, and perhaps push notifications to all the 4th listeners directly without having to plow through all their tweets, would be very cool
And I feel certain that they would pay for something like that.
Any thoughts? Sound like something that might interest you @SimonAndréForsberg?
Their website uses Shockwave Flash... ew. Doesn't run very good, at least on my machine.
