This week, Franc and I go over our hour a few minutes going through Revelation, page by page, trying to make sense of it. We also talk about the fantasy of The Corporation (see the movie, click the link) and mention Franc's blog, Check Your Premises.

I'm making a Krampus Christmas tree skirt to go with my Krampus tree topper, so I was explaining what a Krampus was, its use in parenting in the 19th century and how Capitalism/Consumerism and Santa influence parenting today.

(P.S.) Here's a nice take on how impossible it is to get that much blood out of that giant winepress!

As you know, I made a YouTube video (that currently has over 140,000 views) about the immoral lesson taught in the Noah's Ark story. Last week on Hellbound Alleee I talked about some anxiety/OCD issues I have, some involving the fear of reading possible negative comments or emails on blogs and message boards. I promised I'd make a podcast with me reading those comments from my Noah's Ark video, as a sort of confront therapy. Here is that podcast.

This one's heavy on Hot Old-Timey blues and jazz.

This week, I talk about anxiety/OCD and Franc talks about cultural relativism. Oh, and we read listener mail.

This week's show gives a tiny taste of Sarah Vowell's Wordy Shipmates, a book about the Massachusetts Bay Colony and its Puritans.

This week, Franc and I discuss listener mail, the news of the day, and the old Hitler/Stalin/Atheist question.
