Upcoming Shows and Guests [Updated 5/1/2008]
Offline Well, I know its been some time. But starting May 7th, 2008, the show will be featuring some new guests, normal time (8pm EST) in Stickam.
Our first guest on the show for May 7th is Dr. Hector Avalos, coming on to discuss his new book, The End of Biblical Studies. Dr. Avalos was recently in BAR (Biblical Archaeology Review) where he wrote a short commentary on the problems of Biblical Scholarship today. Later in that same issue (May/June 2008, Vol. 34 No. 3) Dr. Avalos' book was reviewed by John Merill. Dr. Avalos was also in the recent anti-evolution (anti-science) movie Expelled as a critic of Intelligent Design.
Next up, with in a few weeks (hopefully sooner - update forthcoming), Rene Salm will be on the show to discuss his book and his hypothesis that the small polis of Nazareth never existed.
Soon after (or before Rene appears), Frank Zindler is also scheduled to be on the show. Frank has written many books, but most notably is his book The Jesus the Jews Never Knew is one of my favorites.
Stay tuned for updates.

"You act ridiculously," said Ion, "to doubt everything. For my part, I should like to ask you what you say to those who free possessed men from their terrors by exorcising the spirits so manifestly. I need not discuss this: everyone knows about the Syrian from Palestine, the adept in it, how many he takes in hand who fall down in the light of the moon and roll their eyes and fill their mouths with foam; nevertheless, he restores them to health and sends them away normal in mind, delivering them from their straits for a large fee. When he stands beside them as they lie there and asks : 'Whence came you into his body?' the patient himself is silent, but the spirit answers in Greek or in the language of whatever foreign country he comes from, telling how and whence he entered into the man; whereupon, by adjuring the spirit and if he does not obey, threatening him, he drives him out. Indeed, I actually saw one coming out, black and smoky in color." "It is nothing much," I remarked," for you, Ion, to see that kind of sight, when even the 'forms' that the father of your school, Plato, points out are plain to you, a hazy object of vision to the rest of us, whose eyes are weak." - Lucian, Lover of Lies
I will be there to listen to Hector for sure. The guy is so fucking awesome. I go to the same university as that he professes at, and he is the advisor of the Atheist and agnostic society here, so i may be a bit bias
Woohoo! So when will they be available for downlOAD?
By the way if you can afford to subscribe and don't you not only suck royal ass but you must give up your title of cool atheist forever.
Science works whether you believe in it or not.
Where have you guys been. I miss you guys. I wanna cry............I've been surrounded by theists with no RRS to listen to.

Any chance of getting this played again Friday night (even unedited) for those of us who can't make it?
Organised religion is the ultimate form of blasphemy.
