Episode 09:
Consider this episode part one of two: most of these segments will be continued in episode 10. In this episode, we continue our discussion of the American obsession with sports, including recent revelations detailing the fanatical disregard for health in high school athletics. We talk about the FBI and its recent blunders, and go in depth about the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP, recently passed overwhelmingly by the senate but facing a presidential veto. We also raise two quick issues concerning the President's war on American Freedoms, rhetorically and culturally. Our musical selections come from a french acoustic band from Bordeaux, Apatride, off of their album So Tired. You can learn more about Apatride at their website, http:amniotik.blogspot.com.

Episode 08:
We're back (again) - seems that we've had to do this a little too often, but we do have another site member to take the load off. This is a brief episode - we had to have something soon, or lose the two listeners we do have. In this episode, we discuss the tainted home run record of Barry Bonds, the recent rain of feces upon the Bush Administration, and introduce our newest site member, Christian, blogging at Caspernicus. Also: an interview with Karl Rove and a brief rundown of his recent escapades. Our featured musician is C. Glenn Williams, playing three tracks from his first full-length album, Post-Millennial Heebie Jeebies.

A new entry has just been posted to the BlogCast. The post discusses the recent discovery that the God Squad is now spreading the gospel through the popular console game Halo. Among other interesting questions, it asks, "what better way to impart the bloody and violent legacy of Christianity-as-practiced as opposed to Christianity-as-Christlike-behavior?"
