Who knew there was such a thing as BlogTalkRadio? Not me, until medium Marcel Cairo invited me to be on his AfterLifeFM show today, 4 PM Pacific, 7 PM Eastern, some other time in between the coasts.
Tune in. Or better yet, call in. You listen via the Internet by pressing the "Click here" thingie when the time comes. You can call in via any sort of phone: 646-478-5711.
Our subject is Dismantling Dogma: Science, Spirituality, and Spinoza. I'm no expert on Spinoza, but I've filled up a large-post it note with pithy reminders of his philosophy, which should be good enough for a BlogTalkRadio show. (I'm guessing, and hoping, that no Spinoza experts will be listening).
Marcel bills his show as featuring "smart talk from both sides of the grave." Hopefully my side of the conversation will be from the alive side. If not, this should be a really interesting afternoon for me.
Well talked Brian, but the volume of your voice was very low. Personally, the questions seemed low-end in terms of philosophical inquiry, but your answers were very recognizably in the middle, if you know what I mean.

Thanks, Brian.
There were technical issues, of course. BlogTalkRadio is still somewhat in Beta, and there are kinks in the system.
Ashwin, it is a low end show. Ever tried to get 300 people to tune in to a full hour of deep philosophy? What I try to do (I do mean try), is to whet people's interest a bit and introduce them to new people, blogs and ideas.
I have encouraged Brian in the past to start his own radio program, but he still resists. BlogTalkRadio makes it simple to do now, and it's all FREE.
So, Brian, give the people what they want! :-)
