Episode 221 – Revisiting Christian Privilege
This week marks our final recording from the 2016 Minnesota Renaissance Festival. We sit down in the beautiful trailer studios with our good friend Tony Miller to take another look at Christian Privilege in America. Tim spends a fair amount of time discussing the false equivalence between Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick. We also talk […]
Episode 220 – Arts and Crafters
This week, we are joined by regular guest Byron Miller. Byron is a crafter on the Renaissance Festival circuit and we talk to him about what he does for a living. It is interesting to listen to how much work goes into the process of selling wands, brooms and walking sticks. The next time you […]
Episode 217 – Grief Without God
This week, we sit down with our friend Shea Roberts to talk about grieving as an atheist surrounded by believers. Sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge are you are expected to accept everyone else’s faith but they are not expected to give you the same consideration in return. Shea recently lost her […]
Episode 216 – Fringe Festival 2016
This week, we run down our experiences at the 2016 Minnesota Fringe Festival. All three of us tried something new artistically and that was pretty cool. A lot of belly button staring and back patting but that’s because we are, collectively, pretty awesome. If you aren’t from Minnesota, maybe this episode will make you want […]
Episode 215 – Pokemon Goners
It is time for another round of geeky boners! As the title of the episode might suggest, we spend a fair amount of time considering the latest mobile phone game that has definitely been entertaining 2/3rds of our hosting team. We also touch on some new books and a movie that turned out to be […]
Episode 214 – Stranger Things
We’ve been tackling some socially charged issues for the last few weeks. That means it is time to return to a little good old fashioned geeking. This week, we are going to geek all over the Netflix original series “Stranger Things!” If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to go and do so before […]
Episode 213 – Butthurt Kerfluffle
This week, we are joined by returning guest Andrew Hackard – the Munchkin Czar! We take a look at a “controversy” in the gaming world caused by the inclusion of 13 women on a 25 person slate of gaming professionals to be featured on the Industry Insider program at Gencon this year. Apparently, some gamers are […]
Episode 211 – Amanda Marcotte
This week’s episode was recorded live at CONvergence 2016 and features political journalist Amanda Marcotte. Much as we did a couple weeks ago with C. Robert Cargill, we spend this episode discussing the current political climate. While the episode was recorded before the National Conventions, our conversation is just as relevant today as it was […]
Episode 210 – Laughing at the Darkness
This week we present the first of two episodes recorded live at CONvergence 2016! Our first guest was author Kelly McCullough, who was invited to talk with us about using humor to illuminate dark situations. In addition to that important topic, a lot of time is spent reminiscing about how much time Tim and Kelly […]
Episode 209 – Brexit and Trump
This week we talk with our friend C. Robert Cargill. Cargill is a novelist (Dreams and Shadows) and screenwriter (Sinister, Dr. Strange) but we talked to him about politics. Cargill is a Christian and a moderate conservative so he provides a considerably different viewpoint from one normally found on our podcast. We spend some time looking at […]
