I recently listened to a few of the following podcasts, but then decided to unsubscribe but right reviews as to why. I hope to blog about the podcasts I’ve decided to stick with individually in the near future.
Web Talk Radio
I was impressed by how many of the podcasts I’ve found are made on the West Coast, and especially here in Washington state. I guess there are a lot of tech jobs in Seattle and Portland, but that was also the problem with this podcast: they have been borged by Bill Gates. Microsoft is not the world leader in technology, it’s just the biggest. You don’t call the most popular kid in school the smartest, nor the bully the most well known. These guys have the forgivable drone of broadcaster who are a little nerdy but are most interested in making technology known to the non-geeks, but they (unforgivably) have their head in the sand regarding Mac and any kind of wish for the future. Microsoft tells you the future and if you just accept theirs, there’s no reason to dream of your own.
The Infidel Guy Show
I am determined to be the Christian who Leftist Liberal fruitcakes cannot say, “Yeah, well you’ve never seen Fahrenheit 9/11 so you can’t diss it.” I did watch and so I can tell you why it was evil. This podcast isn’t evil, it’s just unthinking. I can’t stand people who feel there cause is so obvious it doesn’t need explaining, let alone defending. This guy has a real laziness in regards to his position; he speaks assuming we’re as cynical, jaded and nihilistic as he is. I can live with snide comments, God hating and Christian make funs (the last one is almost necessary), but to never present a rational system behind it all leaves one empty and bitter.
True Knights Combat Training
I guess by even admitting that I had some interest in this show that I am confessing a problem with pornography/purity. Fair enough. As to why I will not be continuing to take these good folk’s bandwidth, I have two concerns. Most importantly, this podcast is merely the generalized sermon-extracts from their ministry in Michigan. Since I don’t live there, I can’t meet one on one with anybody, but even if I could, I wouldn’t. This is because they’re Catholic and their theology is a little sketchy. It hasn’t entered into much of their discussions yet, but if I want vague homilies that don’t explicitly address the issue at hand, I can find some where I’m not furtively keeping an eye out for bad theology.
