We are still in the midst of the Renaissance Festival but our work on our Bryant Lake Bowl season of shows is already gearing up.

In October, we’ll be presenting two nights of Vilification Tennis LOVES America!  Art for the show and information about our upcoming season below the fold.

New Geeks Without God Available!

Greetings my friends!  If you haven’t heard already, we have a new Geeks Without God podcast available for your enjoyment!  It must be Tuesday morning or something!

This week, we have guest Laura Okagaki-Vraspir talking to us about her work as a biologist.  We got her to tell us about zombie ant fungi, which we all thought were unbelievably cool.  You should take a listen!

Geeks Without God Episode 7

If I’m posting about a new Geeks Without God podcast, it must be Monday! Episode 7 is a Geeky Boner* episode.  We talk about Mars Curiosity, Running with Zombies and other geeky stuff, including “Atheist Voices of Minnesota.

If I can make a personal comment about this week’s episode (of course I can – it’s my blog), I feel pretty good about how the three of us are coming together for our guest-free podcasts.  It’s a learning experience to share hosting duties but we’re figuring it out.  So hooray – go team Geeks Without God!

*Geeky Boner is how we refer to our latest geeky obsessions.  This is all thanks to the fact Molly always talks about how she gets big old geeky boners for stuff.

New Comedy Writing

I’ve got quite a few new articles up at the Vilification Tennis website this morning.

I wrote the World News article this morning looking at doubts surrounding Mitt Romney’s Citizenship.

I also wrote a new Movie Dick article about a brand new genre in movie making – the “film in which the title character doesn’t appear” genre.

And finally, after a brief hiatus, we have a new episode of the Vilification Tennis Podcast up!  We recorded it in the MN Renaissance Festival campground on Friday night and it is pretty entertaining.

So pop on over and take a look if you like!

A new Episode of Geeks Without God is up!

The final episode recorded at CONvergence 2012 is live!  We talked to Stephanie Zvan and Jason Thibeault from FreethoughtBlogs about the Ancient Alien debate that took place at the convention.  It was a lot of fun to record.  Because Stephanie is local, we’ll have to get her back on the podcast soon.  Jason is a Canadian so it might take a while to get him back.

Unless we figure out how to record a podcast using Skype.  That’d take all sorts of work and stuff so we probably don’t want to do that right away…

New Episode of Geeks Without God is LIVE!

This week’s podcast is just the three hosts talking about our latest geeky obsessions and answering a few condescending questions about atheism.  This is only our second “just the three of us” podcast and I think we started to get the format down for that type of podcast.

So go over and have a listen.  Of course, you now also have the option to listen on iTunes!

New Geeks Without God Episode!

We were fortunate that Rebecca Watson made time for us to interview her at CONvergence.  Rebecca is a polarizing figure in skeptical circles and that is too bad because whether you agree with her on most issues or not, she is funny and smart.  If you actually make the effort to engage her instead of attacking her, you will find good conversations to be had.

Fortunately, we were able to record one of those.

She talks about misogyny on the internet all the time and frankly, that is really important.  We offered her the opportunity to talk about other stuff, though, because we figured she could use a break.  The result was a fun geeky podcast.

So take a listen if you would!  Learn about a great podcast that Rebecca does as well as her favorite sandwich!

Two new podcasts for you!

Tuesday morning means a new Geeks Without God is live!  This week, we talked about the religious affiliation of Batman as well as other superheroes.  It’s our first podcast without a guest so we turned the spotlight on ourselves and I had to answer our five questions.  I do my best to explain the Alphabetical Movie Project.

Also up this week, a TC Theater podcast about The Complete Works of William Shatner (abridged).  Josh interviewed Bill and I about the show and I would like to think we sound somewhat intelligent about the whole thing!

New Stuff I wrote

We have a new podcast up over at the Vilification Tennis website this morning along with lots of other new content!  This week’s podcast got into some pretty deep discussion about comic theory including what makes Geek humor work so well and, in the wake of the Colorado shootings, we ask how soon it is too soon to joke about tragic events.

Interestingly enough, I also wrote a Movie Dick article this week about The Dark Knight Rises.  It has nothing to do with the shooting and was written before that event ever took place.  Somehow, I still think that someone will tell me that posting it was in the worst possible taste…

Sweet Sweet podcast-y goodness!

There is a new podcast up over at Vilification Tennis, along with a lot of other new stuff.

The latest podcast includes all sorts of weird stuff.  Among other things, I won the Vilification Tennis Home Game for the first time ever.  Also we learn that the Huffington post is just a little bit behind when it comes to sexual fetishes.

So go listen and read and stuff, OK?
