Caffeine Free, by Tyler Smith
18 Mar
Recently, I have become more and more fascinated with the time in which Jesus lived. The more I read about it, the more suffocating it sounds. There were so many rules, so many tiny, seemingly insignificant boundaries that a God-fearing person was expected to respect every single moment of every single day. If they didn’t, the local religious leaders would see to it that the person would be treated as a social leper. If they were lucky, that is. Death was also a frequent punishment.

Let Saturday Worry About Itself, by Tyler Smith
5 Feb
Listeners of my other podcast know that I’m going to be co-hosting a live comedy show this Saturday night. It’s something that David, my BP co-host, and I have been trying to get off the ground for well over a year. We were excited to do it… when it wasn’t going to happen. In theory, it would be a lot of fun.
Accountability, by Tyler Smith
30 Jan
In the most recent episode of the podcast, I spoke for about an hour about James Cameron’s Avatar. When I finished recording, I was rather pleased with myself.

A Brief History Of Cameron, by Tyler Smith
12 Jan
Much has been made about the various themes of James Cameron’s Avatar. Some are quick to criticize Cameron’s views on the military, the environment, and America itself.
