Producer Notes: Thanks to the many many people who helped. The show is a joy to work on and produce. I am trying to add more and more visuals. If you find cool videos on utube or pictures save it or the link and send it to me. I will use it.

I apologize for not getting this done yesterday (my scheduled day to blog), but the compression of the show for web takes about 4 hours and if it goes over 500 MB (Vimeo’s limit), I have to reprocess it.

Just curious, I haven’t watched enough shows, but is there a possiblity to do a live call-in ???

I would be interested in hearing viewers questions/comments regarding the show.

Andy S.:

Ask and thou shalt receive. Our first live episode of Dial-an-Atheist airs on the same channel on 15 June at 7:00 pm.

Excellent, I’m glad they’ll be a live call-ins in the future, they are not only amusing and entertaining, but also encourage people of opposing views to watch the show and help skeptics like me better respond to their arguments.

Is it possible to follow the show live from Indy?

@Ellis- We will post the live show on the website a few days after the show. Unless you come to the Fort Wayne area and visit someone with cable or Fios you will not be able to watch it live. Maybe some day we can figure out how to stream live to the net.
