[chuck]I’ve narrowed the title ideas for my podcast to “Unapologetics” and “Chuck Tracts” and acquired both domain names (unapologetics.com is registered to a cybersquatter). In typical Irreligiosophy fashion, I’ll ask for your feedback and then promptly ignore it and choose whatever one I want.

Also, we’ve finished recording the next episode, so I’ll be editing that over the next week or whenever I can get to it. Be on the lookout for that.

EDIT: Apparently the poll crapped out at 163 votes. Final tally was 70% for Unapologetics, 27% for Chuck Tracts, and 3% for some blank option that somehow popped up in the last day or so.

[chuck]There’s a thread right now at the Irreligiosophy fan page about favorite episodes, and it got me thinking: now that the show is nearly complete, what were your favorite moments?

To get the ball rolling, I’ll list some of mine: telling my pullup story for the first time to anyone during the “Advice to Young Men” episode (at that point I didn’t think very many people would ever listen to the show), laughing at Hovind’s poem and letter to the editor that he stuck inside his doctoral “dissertation,” interviewing Robert Price about Mormonism, way overpreparing for the second E4F debate (the debate itself was excruciating, but in prepping for it I read a lot of good books and essays), coming up with new ways to annoy and berate our listeners (the Bonerderm commercial comes to mind), and finally just getting to vent publicly about all of my frustrations with religion in general and Mormonism in specific.

It’s been a fun ride.

[chuck]So it looks like Matt and I will be getting together some time this week to record — look for the podcast to appear some time next week.

And then I’m not sure what to do. I’m thinking of wrapping up Irreligiosophy and leaving it as is, with the RSS feed intact and all the content in place. That way it will stand as its own body of work without a “second coming” that regardless of quality, will never be the same as the first.

If I do start a new podcast, I’ll be needing a new name. It seems the podcast community is all about puns, so any suggestions would be appreciated. If left to my own devices, I’m sure I’ll come up with another name equally obscure and difficult to pronounce as Irreligiosophy.
