[irrelig]In episode 90, Tyler of fellow PodCastAward nominee More Than One Lesson podcast, comes on to tell us what huge assholes we were to ridicule his show last year. We find out that he’s actually articulate, intelligent, and pretty nice to boot — but that probably won’t stop us from ridiculing his show again next year.

Also, we reveal the highly anticipated Skunk Dick of the Year for 2009. No spoilers!

[chuck]I’ve been trying to get in touch with Leighton to record this week’s podcast, but apparently he’s at a Wiccan winter solstice party living it up. That’s dedication for you!

We’ll get to it tomorrow. In other news, the E4F guys recently posted a “Debate Analysis,” which is apparently an hour-long analysis over what amounted to something like 15 minutes of debate. Interesting that they’d be “analyzing” a debate without the opposing side present to rebut their claims. I wonder what the point of that could be? Shouldn’t the debate stand or fall on its own merits?

I’m beginning to wonder if this kind of thing isn’t standard operating procedure for Christians: change the terms of the debate at the last minute, get beat anyway, then show up alone the next week and spin doctor like crazy.

[irrelig]Well, it is finished. We have given up the ghost. Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. As promised, we appeared on the Evidence 4 Faith live radio broadcast to debate the two hosts of the show, and they have convinced us of the truth of Christianity. Because of this, Leighton is scheduled to be burned at the stake next Tuesday.

Listen to all the carnage!

[irrelig]This time around, we’ve got Abby to talk about growing up Jewish, a little Jewish history, the four current flavors of Judaism, her bat mizvah, and basically all things Jewish. It’s a typical wide-ranging discussion about the Mother of All Monotheisms, with a little Leighton thrown in for good measure.

[irrelig]Apparently I was wrong, there will indeed be a podcast this week — provided to us by long-time listener and prior guest interviewee Emma. In honor of “Fuck You Fans Month,” she hosts an interview with Leighton and I for “Fuck You Hosts Day.”

Give it a listen, but I’d like to remind all you listeners out there of one thing: every day is Fuck You Hosts Day.

[irrelig]In this podcast, we discuss Fred Phelps and the infamous Westboro Baptist Church with estranged son Nathan Phelps. We discuss details of Westboro Baptist theology and practices, how Nathan managed to get the hell out of Dodge, and how he dealt with the aftermath of his upbringing. It’s a rare, fascinating, and deeply personal glimpse into one of the most notorious cults of our time.
