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...

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...

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'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...

I was talking to SkinnySlim (http://twitter.com/SkinnySlim_) on Twitter about the Big Bang and he said this (http://www.twitlonger.com/show/652nps) so I replied with this (http://www.twitlonger.com/show/0ad578afeadb3c50304682f06fb14ce8) and after I wrote all that out as a twitlonger piece I decided...

I know you're gonna find this hard to believe, but when I was a kid, I was a wimp. I got bullied all the time. Y'know what? The more things change the more they stay the same. I don't get bullied myself personally anymore, but the country that I love, that I call home, is being bullied, AND it's bul...

The audio version of this rambling diatribe is at the end, if you'd rather hear me ramble as opposed to read this. It's not word for word I just used this as a starting point.

I make no apologies for how I behave now that I'm an atheist. I made no apologies for how I behaved back when I was a Belie...

I just learned from Gabrielle Campbell (http://twitter.com/moosebegab) how to see my tweets that were retweeted by others and I thought I'd see if I could make a podcast out of that. This led inevitably to me rambling. Cuz see in a tweet I only get 140 characters at a time but in a podcast I get dec...

If you or someone you know is facing their own dark grim picture, please be sure to exhaust every possible option before committing the permanent solution to a temporary problem. There are resources (http://www.sprc.org) available, and there is always a better choice to make. Sometimes you do have t...
