[chuck]So … we’ve had some technical difficulties with the Wakefield podcast. I’m not sure who’s responsible, gremlins, demons, or angels, but the file was corrupted and appears to be unrecoverable. So we’re going to have to record it again, Matt willing. To fill the gap, we have a podcast we recorded a few weeks ago about a recent Christopher Hitchens debate.
I’m a big fan of Hitchens, especially when he’s drunk (which is most of the time). Hitchens has been debating religionists ever since he went on a book tour promoting “God Is Not Great.” One of the more recent debates was against Frank Turek, author of yet another book about “proofs” for the existence of God, and who apparently holds a doctorate in Christian Apologetics (they’ll give out phD’s for just about anything these days). Hitchens, as usual, was pretty hammered and didn’t adequately respond to a few of Turek’s assertions. So we thought we’d help Hitchens out while he sobers up and take on a few of these assertions ourselves.
The podcast is available here, and for context, the debate itself can be viewed here.

hey, I’m twenty minutes in and still haven’t heard much about Hitchens, get to it man!
Also, why is the banana-cucumber joke video runnning so slow and choppy?
Leighton is responsible for the videos. Clearly, he is incompetent.
I finished the podcast and i am impressed… at you talent for pontificating. I think you need to bring in a chick for comic relief.
But a girl would ruin the delicate homoerotic balance that Leighton and I have so carefully crafted.
