Re:1 year without Penn Radio Show - 2008/03/02 21:41 I'm listening to each episode, in order, for about the third or fourth time now. Except this time I'm labeling each episode as I go so that I don't have to post threads like "Where can I find the episode about such and such?"

I doubt we'll ever find anything comparable (unless of course Penn decides to do it again). I mean, where else can you get stories about atheism, monkeys biting nipples, and biotechnology jokes?

I aspire to have an internet radio show one day and I would try as hard as I possibly could to try to do that kind of stuff without seeming like a plagarist.

Re:1 year without Penn Radio Show - 2008/03/03 03:41 well, the show had too many little individual emergent things, for a perfect replacement to emerge. The best we can hope for is that another show arrives with as many neat emergent things. But the nature of radio is that that won't happen; the formulas for successful formats are too well-honed.

Re:1 year without Penn Radio Show - 2008/03/04 06:42 Ever since the end of the Penn Jillette show I've been listening to The Skeptics Guide to the Universe, which is all about skepticism and science with a humorous touch. And, there actually has been a lot of monkey debates on the show. ^_^

It's not the perfect replacement as it does not go into showbiz or magic tricks at all, and very rarely does it touch on religion other than when it comes to cults that use pseudo science in some way or another. However, it's a great weekly 1hr skeptic/scientific podcast that I'd recommend to anyone who liked the Penn Jillette show.


I'd also recommend this show to anyone interested in hearing more about James Randi. Each episode is a 10-20min story told by James Randi about his life or his infamous skeptic friends.
(The site isn't working right now for some reason but it was working great yesterday, so I hope it will be up again soon)


If you guys have any other recommendations, please share them!

Would you mind sharing your labels for each episode?
