My 15 Nanoseconds of Fame

Some of you may recall that I mentioned an interview I would be taking part in. Well, it’s now available for all to listen. 🙂 On April 11, Mike Woycek of Pittsburgh Webloggers (and Grabass) interviewed me and Rob of Unspace. We talked about two prominent deaths in the news, Pope John Paul II and Terri Schiavo. I’m not thrilled with the sound of my voice and I’m not sure I’m cut out for on-the-fly apologetics, but it was a pleasant experience on the whole. Mike and Rob seem like great guys and I hope to interact more with them in the near future.

What are you still doing here? Go listen to me pontificate. 😉

Update: Rob has a superb explanation of the whole experience, from soup to nuts. Rather than reinvent the wheel and write one of my own, I’ll just suggest you read Rob’s account. His blog is worth a read anyhow. 😉 On a side note, don’t let him fool you – he can certainly hold his own in a discussion/debate. Just wait until you hear my arguments get eviscerated by him in the Terri Schiavo segment. 😉

Update: Part 2 can be found here.

Since I’ve been listening to quite a bit of Marty
Minto lately, I decided to search Google for at-large opinions about him. He
doesn’t seem to make much of a splash in the blogosphere (not surprising, since
his broadcast is local to Pittsburgh), but I did find the following.

Talking
the Talk, Driving the Drive
Why I unprogrammed WORD-FM from my car radio

There are two kinds of people one should never argue with. The first is drunks. There’s no point in arguing with a drunk. As a paramedic, I found that it was often better to confuse them into doing what I wanted, or jujst call the cops to cuff the intox so that the intox had to do as instructed. The second kind of people one should never argue with are talk-show hosts. They have the control: the off switch.

I have to agree with this blogger that “Unfortunately, it would seem that Mr.
Minto has trapped in the materialist culture.” However, I disagree that teachings
against homosexuality are “based on some New Testament verses that actually
refer to pedophiles, not homosexuals.”

The post is a mix of points I agree and disagree with, but it’s interesting to me
as another viewpoint on Pittsburgh’s loudest Christian.
