So, since I hardly ever blog anymore, and since Amanda mentioned that she’d like to get into blogging, I offered her a space here at Thinking Unenslaved. Yup, that’s right; I think so far outside of the box that I’m even willing to let someone else share their thoughts with you through this internet medium […]

Late Start Tonight
Due to holiday activities for work, Thinking Unenslaved will air one hour later than normal tonight. 9pm Eastern, 8pm Central, 7pm Mountain, 6pm Pacific. Please join me for a brief rant about social media and the costs associated with the avid defense of racism. I have no guests lined up at this time, and the […]
The War on Christmas, Part 2
(retroactive post is retroactive, sorry for delays) So, Zach came along, and we wandered all over the place, topic-wise, after some major sound glitches during the live show. The problem with using a software soundboard, lol. I humbly apologize. No budget means…well…things happen sometimes. It has become the catalyst for a format change, however, which […]
The War on Christmas Has Begun
(belated upload is belated). This broadcast launches the “official” War On Christmas, 2014…which will really be a series of discussions on privilege, but the holiday timing and impulsive, reactive media make it fair game. Amanda Novotny (South Dakota director of American Atheists) and I chat for a couple of hours regarding Christmas and Thanksgiving traditions, […]
The Stupid. It Burns. Again.
Last night, still being under the weather with a flu-like thing, I chose to re-broadcast one of my old episodes. This is where my obtuse episode names don’t necessarily serve me all that well. “The Stupid. It Burns” was in my head as one of those episodes where the three of us (Paul, Zach, and […]
Freethought and Free Thought
So, tonight I begin my discussion into freethought with Amanda Novotny, South Dakota State Director for American Atheists and president of the Siouxland Freethinkers Group. It was actually Amanda who brought up the distinction between Freethought and “free thought”, and it sparked a great discussion and will serve as an excellent basis for upcoming discussions. […]
Post-traumatic Stress Election
I’m not quite as upset, really, about the elections as you might suspect. It was fairly predictable to me. “The People” have spoken, and “The People” are clearly focused on what everyone else is doing, instead of what’s good for themselves. I think that’s really the most interesting takeaway here. I’m most concerned about the […]
Thinking Unenslaved Reboot Show
Behold the inglorious audio of the (re)debut show! The audio gremlins bit Josh and me both. I have two willing helpers on the audio side, so I’m confident we’ll knock these things out for next week. Many thanks to Josh Tordsen and Cory Allen Heidelberger! And I’m keeping my fingers crossed for that interview with […]
Blog Party: The Post-non-Rapture, Pre-non-Apocalypse Version
(this was the last official broadcast of Thinking Unenslaved in its form at the time. which is funny, because given the subject matter, maybe it was the end of the world after all….) Sorry. It took me a while to get Internet connected down here in my post-rapture bunker. I understand the world is now […]
Fundamental Euphemisms
We unfortunately missed last week due to circumstances beyond our control (aka reality). I was chagrined to miss it, but events shortly thereafter handily lent themselves to providing me with a some decent preparation time for once. Tonight, we’ll start with some observations on current events in politics and religion. From there, we’ll move on […]
