Atheist News Podcast Project

Hey guys.

I probably shouldn't put this off anymore, so I'm just going to jump on it and improvise. I'm pretty sure the show is over. It was a ton of fun doing it, but with work and my son and my wife in school I simply don't have time to do it anymore.

Other folks have offered to take over but I don't really feel comfortable with that. Quit while you're ahead, sez I.

Anyhow, I payed for another year of hosting, so the archive of podcasts will be available for at least that long.

I really enjoyed podcasting, so I might do something again in the future. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks guys and gals! It was AMAZING.

Love,

--Joe

Comment by TNT666 on December 31, 2011 at 5:46pm: Every Canadian province has more similarities to it's USA southern counterpart than with other Canadian provinces. New Canada (anything West of Ontario) has just over 100 years of history, not much of its own history/culture, compared to the USA which is an imperialist mega-culture. This is Canada's endless cultural battle, trying to distinguish itself from the USA, while at the same time emulating most of the USA's values and culture. An impossible battle to win ;)

Comment by Phil on December 31, 2011 at 5:07pm: I've heard that Manitoba and Alberta have been somewhat influenced by their neighbors in the American heartland - think Iowa or Oklahoma.

Comment by Phil on December 31, 2011 at 4:07pm: The following, just published in a Canadian newspaper, is an example of a complete misunderstanding of, but probably mainstrean view of, science.
