This week Nate tackles something very near and dear to his heart: Mass Effect. Also Shamus Young, a writer who had tragically passed away just a few short years ago. Ben is also here. Sometimes. He's around here. Occasionally he has some good observations that are born out of Nate failing to properly get his point across or describe Shamus Young's writing concepts and then he has to go back and add in a lot of post-recording footgate to better explain himself. This episode started with about 91 minutes of audio and after extensive cuts and recordings it now only has... 101 minutes... well, crap.Check out Shamus Young's work at https://www.shamusyoung.com/ and consider supporting the author on amazon.

Welcome BACK to Pennan, Scotland! The BIT Crew has the month off so we picked one of our MOST FAVORITESISTED episodes to replay for you. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we love hearing the sound of our own voices :-). We'll be back with new episodes starting in September! Pennan became famous in the 1980s for being used as one of the main locations for the film Local Hero. Film enthusiasts have come from all over the world to make a phone call in the red telephone box in the village.  Lesser known, perhaps, is Pennan's Seagull Competition. Sources vary on the purpose, rules, and outcomes of the annual event.  There is a whisper campaign that Dr. Who will be in attendance this year. In recent years, seagulls have become increasingly aggressive and have chased off the once-thriving mackerel (pronounced Mack-Ah-Rell) population to the more habitable coastal waters of Norway (home to Charlie Chaplin).  If you hang out at the phone booth or one of Pennan's many golf courses, you may bump into local bachelor Jake (or is it Jack)? For 2 euro, you can take a selfie with him in the phone box. Please enjoy three of the Pennan Podcast Network's delightful podcasts. How's That Work?: Hosted by Marcie Bonnet and Seafarin' Sequoia. They think they have cracked the code to how the local telephones work without lines. Where's Nessie? Nessie believer/host Dean welcomes Nessie Hunter/skeptic Don to determine whether Nessie inhabits the local bodies of water.  Where Are They (Those Fish)? Janine and Patty host the show. Something or someone is scaring Pennan's mackerel off, and they aren't returning. Janine has enlisted Patty to shepherd them back to Pennan if she has to swim in the sea to do so.  Sponsors include The BBC, Sam's Seagulls, Jody (Dr. Who's Companion), Jake's Fantasy Dates, and George, the forgetful and perpetually lost garbage guy!  DIRECTOR/CREATOR:  Billy Merritt Producer/Editor: Hill Kane CAST:  Dean Aisles (Himself) Konrad Andrew (Sam of Sam's Seagulls) Terry Armstrong (Support Player) Amber Bellsdale (Patty) Luke Bovard (Seafarin' Sequoia) Don Slovin (Himself) Jason Spiro (Jody, Dr. Who's trusted companion) Lisa Steckman (Marcie Bonnet) Thea Marie Thorkildsen (Jake/Jack) Katya Vasilaky (Janine) Flannery Wilson (George) Special appearance by BILLY MERRITT as Shamus.

Join host Darnelle Radford as he sits down with Ang Bey, also known as Rayne, to discuss her innovative play "New Heaven, New Earth." This episode delves into the creative process behind adapting Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" into a modern narrative that explores themes of identity, power, and cultural legacy. ABOUT NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH On the edge of empire, Cleopatra battles a soothsaying Crocodile in this revisionist, Afrocentric adaptation of Shakespeare's “Antony and Cleopatra”. Written by Rayne, directed by Shamus, with live music by Karen Smith, "new heaven new earth” is an allegory that blends ancient history with poetic futurism. When peace demands war, what will you become, and for whom? After an over-sold, one-night showing at Philly Theatre Week, "new heaven new earth" continues its development through Philadelphia Theatre Company's Text and Dramaturgy Cohort at Cannonball. Join us for two, developmental staged-readings of this new play commissioned and produced by Shakespeare in Clark Park with Upstream Performance Collaborative and Cannonball.

Readings for the 5th Sunday in Lent - Isaiah 43:16-21; John 8:1-11You know how some people have a face for radio? You get to listen to a voice made for silence for a lengthy bit of time today - but, thanks be to God, the readings are worth it. It can often be easy for us to fall into the trap of seeing God merely as someone who has acted in the past. In doing so, we miss the beauty and the opportunity of God's action right here, right now in our midst. God is not an event of the past, but a dynamic presence in the Present. And he invites us to set aside those past notions and move into a new space - if only we have the courage to imagine and perceive it. Special thanks as always to Shamus, Bridget and Mandy, without whom this podcast would even be a thing. And mostly, thanks to you for listening, for rating, for recommending this podcast. I am continually humbled at the places it has gone and that is all because of you. And yes, thank you for your patience during these past months when the drop schedule has been uneven. I'm hoping that we are beyond that now. Fingers crossed. Have a question or a comment? I can be reached at pdjoezenk@gmail.com
