It’s a miracle! Joemma’s voices speak to you out of thin air and proclaim sacred prophecies and secrets for those who obey The Second Law. In this episode we discuss some of the better known modern day Catholic miracles. More Holy Mary Mother of Gods than you can poke a Maguey at, holey hands, and a whole lotta WTF? await the faithful. Don’t believe us? The proof is in the podcast.
Oh, and apologies for the dodgy audio. The spinning, dancing multi-coloured sun threw out a few coronal mass ejections that killed Joe’s laptop.
PS: The intro came up on my news feed the day after we recorded this episode. It was indeed a miracle.
PPS: Word nerds (esp. Meowicus), stay tuned at the very end for a deep and meaningful discussion about the role of schwa in the word “Katsushika”.

The link goes to the last episode think.
Thanks, fixed.
I literally laughed out loud when you compared Satan to a luchador….Really good podcast, please keep up the great work!
I had no idea Emma was an amateur astronomer. A Moggie after my own heart! Those astronomy anecdotes gained an extra dimension of funny when, driving around this evening, I saw a bright light in the western sky that I thought might be Venus, but which turned out to be a plane or something. In my defense, Phil Plait once thought a flock of seagulls were alien spacecraft (just for a moment). Most people aren’t trained to properly interpret what they see in the sky, so it’s no surprise a bunch of credulous catholics primed to expect a miracle would actually see something they never had before.
Oh, and thanks for pronouncing Katsushika Hokusai. It was about what I expected, but I wanted to hear it from the Japan nerd. This episode was schway*.
*(Schway is slang for “cool” in the Batman Beyond cartoon series. Urban Dictionary has a reference for it, but it’s probably from the cartoon. Maybe. I’m guessing.)
Dude–*you’re* schway.
The SecondLaw feed’s b0rked.
There’s an extra keywords tag in 007, and it’s mangled.

That’s what I get for doing this on 2 hours sleep. Fixed and validated.
I know. It’s hard being this schway. It’s because I’m such a fun guy: I have fun guy schway.
Wow, that’s a confused pun. Anyway, Joe asked about resurrections in the Bible aside from those associated with Jesus in the episode. There are five not associated with Jesus in the HB and the NT: three associated with Elijah and his successor Elisha (in 1 and 2 Kings), one by Peter who resurrects Tabitha, and one by Paul who resurrects Eutychus after the latter falls out of a third-floor window (both in Acts). The resurrection of Eutychus is actually disputable: he might not have been killed. Tabitha was definitely dead, though. Here is a terrible/hilarious children’s activity booklet all about it:

Arise, Tabitha, arise!

They had third floor windows in those days?
