Every two weeks, I usually join D.P.R.Jones, Thunderf00t, and C0nc0rdance on BlogTV for the Magic Sandwich Show. Over the last year, we have had such guests as Lone Frank, Andy Thompson, Zack Kopplin, Eugenie Scott, Barbara Forrest, Sean Faircloth, Myriam Namaze, P.Z. Myers, Matt Dillahunty, James Randi, and Richard Dawkins. This week we’re excited to announce that we have fellow YouTuber, Potholer54.
This is a big deal to us because he just doesn’t do this sort of thing. He has never been interviewed on anyone’s show, nor has he ever attended any public function where his YouTube persona might be recognized. But we have been following his skeptical education example since before we began making videos. His ‘ target=”_blank”>Made Easy‘ series was like a template for Thunderf00t’s ‘Why We Laugh at Creationists‘ or my own series on the Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism. Some of his series has even been target=”_blank”>re-edited for use in public school classrooms.
We’re so excited to have Potholer54 on our show with us that we are willing to move the show to the wrong hour on the wrong day just to accommodate his Australian schedule. It’s a live call-in show, so that is significant. Normally our show runs on Sundays from 2:00pm central time until everyone leaves to watch Dillahunty’s show on the Atheist Experience. This weekend however Potholer would like to be on at 10:00am his time. That means we will be on Saturday night at 7:00pm Texas time, when I’m sure no one has anything better to do than to join our chat room. What else can ya do? Waste all your money trying to talk to girls?

I am so psyched for this…please place it on YouTube after the fact so we shift-workers can enjoy it as well.

It should be noted that he was interviewed by Peter Sinclair on his channel (greenman3610) about his ongoing discussion with Christopher Monckton, which Monckton had apparently backed out of without notice. You got to see Potholer’s face, too!

Totally off topic but…
The ad that popped up for me below your banner is making you look…chestier than usual. Made me laugh.
Seems that I can’t embed pictures into comments. Click here to see it.

Wow, AronRa, C0nc0rdence, Thunderf00t, and now Potholer54, I feel bad for any creationist or climate denialist who has the balls to call!

Glad to see that you have a blog on here!

This is great. 54 is probably the reason I’m am engaged in the skeptical movement. We still hear his radio journalism here in Canada from time to time on the CBC. Neat to hear his irreverent voice on the state radio.

Good post. I agree and think more people should try to keep it real. Everyone tries to get all the readers to like them it’s good to get good info. Thanks for the info. It’s why I’ll always be here. Douglas Schertz

Expose’ of the Secret Vatican Vault by Michael Ashbury
Christianity and the Holy Bible are thought to have resulted from divine intervention directly from God. Little reference is given by religious leaders or scholars to the numerous historical saviors that have bee revered but summarily dismissed as mythology. Or, the fact that the Christian story is so similarly compared to other past saviors it might have been plagiarized. Or, rather accepting the new faith it had to be imposed by edict and the threat of the sword. Or, how millions died and continue to die believing in a different faith. Deep in the Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana, the official library of the Holy See, is a vault that houses church secrets available only to the select few. It has been said that these secrets are so volatile they cannot be released to the general public. Secrets that may challenge Catholicism, even Christianity.
