ZachsCast

A year ago I started this project with a cute piece about this being Groundhog Day. I guess you could say ZachsCast is now one year old. Today, although some are expecting me to do an audio podcast about PZ Myers (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/02/why_are_you_an_atheist.php) (a biologist wh...

This podcast is based on a thought that occurred to me a couple nights ago and it's been stirring about in my head. I'm sure it doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. I'm sure ppl who actually believe in this stuff have all kinds of Quran quotes or apologetix or other sleight of hand that makes all t...

Since President Barack Obama is taking the time this evening to review the state of the union known as the United States of America, I thought I'd take this opportunity to give an assessment of this website. Admittedly, the picture is not as clear as I might like it to be. In fact the future of this...

Over at Twitter, John Rezas (http://twitter.com/john_rezas) brought to my attention a page over at Soul Pancake to which he thought I should respond. A guy named Rainn Wilson (http://www.soulpancake.com/post/1230/prove-the-nonexistence-of-god.html) cha...

(sung to the tune of Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven (http://youtu.be/0AOBJWTyizA). This is a satiric parody, and no copyright infringement was intended nor should be inferred. Bad taste may be inferred. Tragedy plus time does not always equal comedy. Close cover before striking. The Earth is flat.)...

This is an oldie but a goodie. Available in several places on the Web, JYI Resources (http://www.jyi.org/resources/humor/santa.html) as just one of many examples, there's a great piece I've seen on the Internet for years. I don't know who originally wrote it. That's been lost in the sands of time, b...

This is another sojourn into 'Reader's Theater.' I did NOT write this. I only wish I did. You can read along over at Quiche Moraine (http://quichemoraine.com/2010/02/time-for-atheists-to-stop-it) I only screwed up a few times. Like with the Michael Shermer piece in the previous podcast, I liked the...

I thought I'd take a crack at some reader's theater. I like how Michael Shermer's "Genesis Revisited (http://www.michaelshermer.com/2001/12/genesis-revisited)" reads, so I decided to play with it a bit. My apologies to Mr. Shermer. I didn't mean anything bad. I was trying to do justice with the wor...

Before you listen to this, be sure you have seen Browncoats Redemption (http://www.browncoatsmovie.com) which supports multiple charities and is a must-see for any fan of Joss Whedon's Firefly tv series & the accompanying movie Serenity. You could say this film is a Companion to Firefly. In fact I d...

I'm still working on part two of my Browncoats Redemption critique. Recorded some stuff today but didn't like it and will probably start from scratch again. The irony is I'm criticizing something I love and can't get the critique to sound right either. Pot? Say hi to kettle...
