  • S3 E7: Talking Religion in the news with John Armstrong and Steve Mers
    Aug 27 2024

    Originally a livestream from June 23 (2024), in this episode Jerry is joined by Steve Mers and John Armstrong. In June of 2024 there was suddenly a bunch of stories in the news about religion and we decided to dissect them and also make fun of them. Some of the stories covered included Louisiana adding the 10 commandments to classrooms and several states allowing students to skip school for bible study, amongst others. Please enjoi.

  • S3 E6: Comedy in Iceland with Thor and Eggert
    May 19 2024

    Show notes:

    In early May of 2024, I spent a week in the beautiful country of Iceland! I had the opportunity to wrangle myself on to some local stand-up comedy shows there, where I met a bunch of people from the local scene. After one show I sat down in a pub with two of the country’s leading professional comics, Eggert Smári Sigurðsson and Þórhallur Þórhallsson. They gave me the lowdown on Icelandic comedy—which I share with you in today’s episode of the Comical Heathen podcast. This show also includes guest cohost Jeff Gedert. We talk a little about my time in Iceland (including the puffins!) as well as setting up some of the background to the interview. This episode includes a special PSA on the subject of cults.

  • S3 E5: Talking anti-science conspiracy theories with Brian Malow
    Apr 27 2024

    In October of 2023, I had the pleasure of doing a livestream about anti-science conspiracy theories with science commuicator AND comedian Brian Malow. We were joined by Lake Erie College Professor of Biology Dr. Zane Johnson. On a personal note, let me add that Dr. Johnson is a colleague of mine, and he is not only erudite and well-read, he is sardonic and one of the most hilarious people to sit with during a faculty senate meeting! Here is the slightly edited version for your enjoyment.
