I want to introduce everyone to one of my favorite sources of entertainment-- and issue a few warnings on it at the same time. 
There's a weekly podcast called "The Sitter Downers," which I've been listening to for a very long time and still can't get enough of. It consists (usually!) of three guys: Adam Jackson, Torri Suedmeyer, and Tom Revell. Adam and Torri are both from Illinois, both hard-core Christians (non-Catholic), and extremely conservative in their political and social beliefs. Tom is British, an atheist, and socially/politically extremely liberal. (Sounds like fun already, doesn't it?)
Their show usually consists of the three of them discussing topics such as politics, religion, their personal and family lives, and anything interesting that has caught their attention in the past week. I don't know if the rest of you would agree or not, but I find it unbelievably entertaining! :lol:
They welcome feedback from listeners by e-mail, and usually read the e-mails aloud on the show and respond directly.
Now the warnings... possibly triggering for some!! This show is not for everyone. It could very easily offend you, and I mean a LOT! It depends on both your own personal belief system and how tolerant you are of opposing views. Adam and Torri aren't shy-- they believe what they believe, and they often phrase their beliefs in ways that would infuriate many people. For example, they regularly refer to abortion as "babykilling," and to liberals as "flaming libs" or "lib-tards." Tom isn't quite as vocal about his opposing views, but often believes quite differently than the others. THIS SHOW COULD BE CONSIDERED INFLAMMATORY AND UPSETTING BY SOME. I don't want to introduce anyone to something that will only upset them. I'll add, though, that the show is otherwise very PG-rated; there's no obscenity or anything like that.
If you enjoy lively debate on a variety of topics and aren't easily offended, this show is awesome. If you are afraid it might offend you, please don't listen-- or at the very least, don't hold it against me if you do get offended! I just enjoy it so much that I thought everyone else deserved at least the chance to try it out.
New shows are posted on Tuesdays. You can download individual episodes at www.thesitterdowners.com or subscribe there to the RSS feed.
If this post in itself is too touchy, I won't be offended if it is removed. I sincerely don't want anyone to be offended, and I know that politics and religion are sensitive subjects!! I just enjoy it so much that I thought there might be others who'd enjoy it too.
