Episode 271 – Blind Spots
We are joined by regular guest Ronn Bauman inside the beautiful trailer studios to talk about Blind Spots. What are things that we all simply refuse to see an understand about ourselves and the world around us. In a political climate that seems designed to create blind spots, how do we become aware of them […]
Episode 240 – Schooling on the Road
This week, we are joined by eleven time guest Ronn Bauman (he’s the one who brought it up)! After listening to our episode about Home Schooling with Jeremy and Vanessa Messersmith, he has a chat with us about his experiences as he home schools his daughter on the road as a Renaissance Festival performer. As […]
Episode 219 – God’s Not Dead 2
This week, we gather our three good festival friends Tony Miller, Ronn Bauman, and Byron Miller in one room so the six of us can experience the glory that is God is Not Dead 2! Glory is not a good word to describe the film. Torture might be a bit more appropriate. It is not […]
Episode 218 – Triggered!
We have begun that time of the year where we are recording in the beautiful trailer studios! We are joined by frequent contributor Ronn Bauman to talk about the idea of Trigger Warnings. We’ve discussed this issue before and because it is a pretty big deal right now, we will no doubt discuss it again. […]
Episode 168 – God’s Not Dead
Last year at this time, we sat down with Ronn Bauman and Tony Miller to record an episode about Dark Dungeons. We had a lot of fun so this year, we brought them back to watch God’s Not Dead, a fundamentalist Christian film that Tim calls fundie porn. What we had hoped would be good […]
Episode 166 – Gun Control
We’re getting controversial with one of our favorite guests this week! Ronn Bauman re-joins us so we can talk about guns and gun control. Ronn is a big fan of guns but has a pretty pragmatic opinion regarding guns, gun safety, and gun control. We cover the topic as well as we can given we […]
Episode 116 – Dark Dungeons
This week, we sat down with Tony Miller and Ronn Bauman to watch “Dark Dungeons,” a faithful adaptation of a Chick Tract of the same name. For those unaware, Chick Tracks are fundamentalist comic books and the makers of the film got permission to adapt this particular comic as long as they did not produce […]
Episode 115 – Crisis of “Faith?”
Another recording in the trailer studios brought Ronn Bauman back to our show! This time, Ronn suggested we talk about having an atheist crisis of “faith.” We talked about superstitions, hopes for what we know aren’t true and other ways that we, as atheists, sometimes still “believe.” Or at least we want to. At the […]
Episode 74 – Too Soon?
Returning guest Ronn Bauman joins us for a discussion of comic theory! We ask the question, how soon is too soon and we also talk about topics that are comedic minefields. Do you stay away from certain types of jokes all together or do you work to craft the right kind of joke? Is laughter […]
Episode 64 – Conspiracy Theories
This week we are joined by third time guest Ronn Bauman in the luxious trailer studios. We had a long and animated conversation about conspiracy theories. If anything, we barely scratched the surface of our contempt for people who buy into them. We probably should have focused on one at a time but Ronn has […]
