Bachman was born and raised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving a two year mission in Argentina. After concluding that the church's founder had fabricated his experiences, Bachman left the church in late 2003. Since that time he has been active in helping other former Mormons through the difficult process of starting new lives outside Mormonism. As part of this effort, he has written a number of satirical pieces about the LDS Church and its apologists. He has recently been featured on a PBS Frontline documentary entitled "The Mormons". In it, he discusses his experience as a LDS missionary in Argentina and his decision to leave the LDS Church. He also will be featured in a forthcoming documentary on religion made by television personality Bill Maher. For other uses, see Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (disambiguation). ...

As the holder of a bachelor's degree in political science, Bachman has also occasionally moonlighted as a political commentator. These efforts include appearing as a special guest on Toronto's Bill Carroll radio show the day after the last U.S. presidential election to discuss George W. Bush's victory, as well as serving with political publisher Ezra Levant as a guest panelist for Global TV's live coverage of the last Canadian federal election. He has also contributed as an editorialist for the Canadian newspaper The National Post.

Other appearances include on the CBC televion show "Open Book with Mary Walsh" to discuss the autobiography of Gabriel Garcia Marquez with Canadian novelists Jane Urquhardt and M.J. Vassanji, his appearance on the Pamela Wallin show to discuss growing up with a famous father, and a guest appearance on the television show "Melrose Place".

Tal's father Randy Bachman pronounces his last name as "BACK-man," not with the "ah" sound (as in J.S. Bach).^{[citation needed]}However, realizing American DJs were never going to give up the German pronunciation, he conceded that his former band's name is BACHman-Turner Overdrive while he is Randy BACKman. Tal has dealt with the same problem in his recording career. Randoph Charles Bachman, OM (born September 27, 1943) was lead guitarist and songwriter of the 1970s rock band, The Guess Who, and later formed the famous hard rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive with his brothers Robbie Bachman, drums, Tim Bachman, rhythm guitar and friend Fred Turner on bass and lead...
