A Very Special Birthday Episode of Geeks Without God!
Today is my birthday. It is also time for a new episode of Geeks Without God! Of course, I took some time to geek about the fact that the Indiana Jones Blu-Ray set was released for my birthday. We also talked about the manned space program in the wake of Neil Armstrongs passing and we had our first set of listener submitted answers to our five questions! It made us feel all important and stuff! Go over and have a listen!
Another Podcast? What is it with me?
I’m a bit behind on this one but last week’s Renaissance Music Podcast was recorded live at CONvergence 2012. The Dregs performed two live songs for the podcast and I also told a story about a time I tore up my knee for comedy. The good folks at the podcast regularly feature Dregs music so if you are a fan of the Dregs or you want to hear some funny stories about working at the Renaissance Festival, please check them out.
New Geeks Without God Podcast!
Yes, it’s Tuesday morning and that means a new Geeks Without God podcast is up at our website just this morning! This week we have a discussion with Joshua Humprhey about The Amazing Meeting, which he attended in 2011 and 2012. He really made us want to go. Maybe we need to do a kickstarter to fund a GWG trip to Vegas so we can record a bunch of podcasts there!
Anyway, listen to the podcast because it’s awesome! Or should I say AMAZING???
Two New Podcasts! AH HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!
Hey everyone! Because of Labor day, you can listen to two new podcasts in which I prominently feature!
First up is our newest installment of Geeks Without God in which we talk about the 1960’s film Inherit the Wind starring Spencer Tracy and Fredrick March. It’s one of my favorite films and had a lot to do with shaping my opinions regarding religion and evolution. The podcast is really interesting (I think) and hopefully it’ll convince folks who haven’t seen the movie to check it out! So give it a listen!
Also, we have a new Vilification Tennis podcast. We finally got Lauren, our youngest vilifier, on the Podcast and she initiated a fascinating discussion about driving. She doesn’t want to get her license and the rest of us try to convince her that she should by telling her horror stories about our experiences as young drivers. It doesn’t seem to work. We also talked about a lot of other stuff. Enjoy!
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…
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…
