Podcast #041 - Harry Whodunit #3

 "Harry Whodunit: The Mystery of the Nine Samsons"

Enjoy your Covid lockdown with this Harry Whodunit mystery audio adventure!

Back in Episode 31, we mentioned Harry Whodunit as one of our favorite little-known bits of Evangelical pop culture. 

And in Episode 32, we played a digitized version of one of the two cassette sets we own. And then in Episode 36, we played a digitized version of the other set we own.   

As we discussed last episode, creator Terry Scott Taylor recently put his entire audio archives up for sale, including the entire (4 adventures) Harry Whodunit collection! We were very excited to see that, and bought the collection.

And here is the third adventure we've posted, although it was the first one produced. And so, we proudly present "The Mystery of the Nine Samsons!"

For All Souls

We are fans of the 3-day cycle of observance and celebration, Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. And even though All Souls Day is a serious and solemn observance, that doesn't mean that a joke is TOTALLY inappropriate ....

This One Could Happen

What makes satire work is when it has a ring of truth to it. And this one -- sadly -- has the ring of truth to it. Not that this IS happening.But it COULD happen. Great work, Babylon Bee.

In honor of the feast day of that great heretic-puncher and orthodoxy-upholder, here is a classic meme about the man.

 

And just in case you wondered that it couldn't hurt that much to be punched by a theologian, what if that theologian had clear Klingon ancestry?

Babylon Bee: Faux Calvinist!

Never trust a Calvinist without a beard. Or with a beard, but that's just our view. Not everything the Babylon Bee puts out is funny, but when they nail it, they nail it.

Osteen vs. Luther

Adam4d is a Christian humor website that is occasionally quite funny, even if we aren't always on the exact same page theologically. But the site hit a home run with this, a series of actual Joel Osteen tweets, followed by actual Martin Luther qoutes.

In addition to having a grasp on the theology of grace, Luther also had quite the way with words.

Church Teachings ... via LEGO!

Father Roderick Vonhogen is a parish priest in the Netherlands. He is also one of the Catholic Church's leading voices in the use of new media, social media, and podcasting. He has even written a book about his experiences as a Catholic geek priest. You may remember him as the fellow with the awesome reaction video to the first "The Force Awakens" trailer:

One of his recent efforts is to make 60-second stop-action Lego videos to explain church teachings. Such as Pentecost:

And the Pope's declaration of "A Year of Mercy:"

What the world needs now is ... definitely ... more teachings delivered via LEGO!
