  • EP 32 Esther Meek: Covenant Epistemology

    Esther Lightcap Meek is an author, philosopher, and professor emeritus at Geneva College. She is known for her writing on Epistemology; Books such as A Little Manual for Knowing, Longing to Know, and Loving to know. We talked about her model of knowledge known as Covenant Epistemology and the seemingly countercultural idea that knowledge itself could point to God. This unusual take on knowledge rings true and is gaining ground.

  • BONUS Episode 2: Viral videos with Evan Gregory (Shmoyoho) and Brock Tyler (Speaking Moistly)

    This episode was films quite a while ago and, due to flakiness issues on my part, was not released until now. It consists of 2 separate interviews with the creators of viral auto-tuned videos. Details for both artists and their most well-known hits is listed below:  

    Evan Gregory is one of the masterminds behind the successful Shmoyoho YouTube Channel with auto-tuned hits such as Bed Intruder and Double Rainbow.

    Brock Tyler is the creator of Anonymotif, a newer autotuned channel. Brock had viral success with the song Speaking Moistly which auto-tuned an unfortunate wording gaff by Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau during a speech on the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • EP 30 Howard Bloom: The Glory of Atheism

    Howard Bloom is a thinker, author, scientist, music publicist and much more. He has written on atheism, cultural history, and anthropology. He is very hard to pin down! In this, our second conversation, I wanted to begin to get a feel for his style of transcendent atheism and see how it has informed his life's path. I enjoyed this conversation as we each represented different perspectives on religion and God. This is not a debate!
