PZ's Podcast
Summary: From "Telstar" to "Vault of Horror", from Rattigan to Kerouac, from the Village of Bray to the Village of Midwich, help PZ link old ancient news and pop culture. I think I can see him, "Crawling from the Wreckage". Will he find his way? This show is brought to you by Mockingbird! www.mbird.com

John Galsworthy's play "A Bit O'Love" (1915) and his novel "Saint's Progress" (1919) diagnose the problem and also the possibility inherent in parish ministry, and especially within parish clergy. Galsworthy gives his readers a shattering exercise but also a hopeful one. So we just want to say: Goodbye, Columbus !
It's being labelled a "Zwinglian"! And there's something even worse than that. This podcast is a plea for the wheels to be put back on religion.

Freedom and Love: Love can't exist from anything but, and Freedom can't result in anything but. This cast wants to consult St. Augustine, concerning human nature; and Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, concerning intangibles. Maxim Gorky makes an appearance, too. I hope you'll like what he says.

Here's a short talk about creativity, renewal, "work stoppage", and a couple of terrific movies. It's also a lesson in How to Empty a Room!

Did I get across? Well, maybe "a toe on the road", to quote a religious psychologist I know. This cast gets some help from a steel guitar, and also from the Rev. James Cleveland. Will the world "hear from me again" (Fu Manchu)? Dunno.

"Trouble in my way" is the name of the game. This podcast tells the story of how it came to me, and what it forced me to learn. Episode 119 of PZ's Podcast is a two part swan song.

This is intended to be the opposite of a rant. Even if I wanted to, I could not come a thousand light years close to Antoine's great one, which once so delighed the French. What I can try to give you instead is a little reading list, plus a little movie, a profound one, even a study in scarlet.

This tight expressionist outing is a study in egos prepared to take any measures in order to prolong (ego-) life. It's a sure fail, but most instructive. Then there's the fog, and the blocking of the characters in the fog. It endures in the memory. There is also an outstanding note of psychotronic Episcopal haberdashery and service schedules. 'Mr. Russell' is a wonderful minister!
