Listen in as I interview Todd Bouldin of Pepperdine University. Todd is the Director of the Lilly Endowment Program on Vocation, Assistant to the Provost for Art and Media Initiatives, and is co-founder of the new MFA (masters of fine arts) program in Screen and Television Writing at Pepperdine.

Todd and I discuss the new MFA program at Pepperdine, the role of Christians in culture, the role of Christians in politics, and the upcoming election.

Listen in as I interview Ken Mueller of WXPN in Pennsylvania about the future of radio, changes in the music industry, and how technology and social networking is enabling democratization of cultural change.

Ken has over worked for over three decades in radio including almost ten years as the radio curator at the Museum of Television and Radio in New York City.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Radosh, author of the new book Rapture Ready. Daniel wrote the book to investigate Christian pop culture and came away surprised at what he found. I highly recommend checking out his book.

Daniel and I had a great time discussing the "Culture War" and civility in the public arena. While I am sure that Daniel and I have many differences, I couldn't have found a better guy to enjoy a morning chat with.

Christmas has come early! Please, dear Lord, let this be the real deal!

Tonight, the eventual happened and that proves that Flaxseed Oil Works!

I really don't have anything constructive to add except that Barry Bonds makes me sick.

SI has a nice chart to figure out who is the bigger villian: Darth Vader vs. Barry Bonds

This evening, I attended the preview of Georgia Shakespeare's production of Carlo Goldoni's The Servant of Two Masters. We were falling out of our seats laughing, even though we caught only some of the jokes in this fast-paced vaudevillian show. The performances were great and (as my theatre history geek wife observed) quite faithful to the spirit of commedia dell' arte. It ranks near the top of the many Georgia Shakespeare productions we've seen over the years.

I expect this to be the big theatrical hit of Atlanta's summer, and we'll be making our reservations soon to enjoy another performance. read more »
