  • Episode 29: Inciting A Defensive Riot
    Episode 29 of Inciting A Riot: the Podcast brings back the fabulous Velma Nightshade of WitchesBrewHaha. One podcaster just isn't enough to take on all of the Riotous topics that were talked about today. From sex to griping, we've got a riot for everyone in the longest episode of the show yet!
    News: AZ immigration reform isn't quite done, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico won't be done for a while, and I thought we were done discriminating against students in schools.
    Word of the Day: Irrupt
    Gripe Department: Overly-Defensive Pagans seem to be the latest wave in the pagan community.
    Spirituality: Sex around the Beltane fires, is it really that necessary?

  • Episode 27: Inciting A Christian Riot
    Episode 27 of Inciting A Riot: the Podcast. Today we're Inciting A Christian Riot, which kicks off our 10-month series of the top 10 world religions - yes, it was the world religions list that was picked. We talk about the basic tenets of Christianity, and have a strangely synchronistic list of Christian-related segments.
    News: A lesbian Christian singer, Mike Huckabee proves he's an ass...again, Obama rocks, and Deepak Chopra causes an earthquake - whether literally or figuratively will be left up to you.
    Word of the Day: verdure
    Gripe Department: The Roman Catholic church blames the priest sex abuse scandal on homosexuality, and we all learn what a pedophile ACTUALLY is. (So, please use the term correctly from now on.)
    Spirituality: Christianity.
    Book Review: We're discussing the Inciting A Riot Book Club book The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs. It's an excellent read and full of interesting Biblical tidbits and hilarious exploits.
    Poetry: Who will save my soul?
    Music: Double dose of music today with What if I stumble? by DC Talk and Up to the mountain sung by Kelly Clarkson.
    We also get to hear some interesting listener feedback and give a shout out to some excellent podcasts. I also announce the first ever Inciting A Riot Swag Draw.

  • Episode 26: Inciting A Debated Riot
    Episode 26 of Inciting A Riot: the Podcast finds us Inciting A Debated Riot with Johnny Rapture of the blog The Great Tininess. (greattininess.wordpress.com)
    He says Project Pagan Enough highlights everything that is wrong with modern paganism. I disagree. We had a fairly intense debate, and I'll leave it up to you to decide who came out on top!

  • Episode 25: Inciting A Public Riot
    Episode 25 of Inciting A Riot: the Podcast finds us Inciting A Public Riot. Today's show is an extra long episode, because I stumbled upon a local Tea Party rally and decided to record a few speeches - and some awful songs. Inspired by this, and by your votes, we're talking about putting on a good public face for the pagan community.
    News: Justice Stevens retires, lesbians go to fake proms, West Virginia mourns, and a man is forced to pay people to protest his son's funeral.
    Word of the Day: magniloquent
    Sociology: Tea Party audio and commentary from me. Bear with me folks, this takes up a good chunk of the podcast.
    Spirituality: The public face of the pagan community: are your wings getting in the way?
    Music: Immortal by Saving Jane
    No poetry segment today in the interests of time and boredom. We also have some listener feedback in the way of rebuttal concerning Project Pagan Enough.

  • Episode 24: Inciting A Stagnant Riot
    Episode 24 of Inciting A Riot: the Podcast finds us Inciting A Stagnant Riot. I felt it would be a fantastic follow-up to our discussion on curses, which makes this a pretty quick turnaround. (Forgive me.) So, our Spirituality segment will discuss dogma and spontaneity in the craft, learning when to employ each and why. We also have a new segment! How happy are you?!
    News: The Conservative Bible Project seeks to remove the liberal bias and socialist agenda from the Bible while Republicans are using your money to party it up at a West Hollywood bondage-themed strip club.
    Word of the Day: Ruthless
    *New Segment* Tips & Tricks: Podcasting 101 - Top 10 things to keep in mind when making your first show. (Though I can think of at least 10 more...haha)
    Gripe Department: Gay guys that have sex with women.
    Poem: Mr. Unattainable

  • Episode 23: Inciting A BrewHaha
    Episode 23 of Inciting A Riot: the Podcast is actually part 2 of a conversation on curses started on Episode 12 of Velma Nightshade's esteemed podcast, WitchesBrewHaha. So, please, if you haven't checked out that show yet, do so. However, that doesn't mean you'll be lost! Velma and I delve deeply into the ethics of curses, the 3-fold-law, harm none, and spells that include caveats at the end.
    And just because we're Inciting A Combined Riot doesn't mean we forgot about your favorite segments!
    News: Derrick Martin is going to prom and looking for a place to live while Sex.com is up for sale!
    Word of the Day: esemplastic
    Gripe Department: The US census doesn't really look at much.
    Poetry: Immigrant Worker

    News: HEALTHCARE REFORM PASSED BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS ON MARCH 21, 2010! Oh Frabjous Day! Caloo, Calay! (Brownie points if you can tell me where that came from.)
