A wonderful show today. I get to talk to Brian Dalton, the comic genius behind one of the hottest video podcasts on the web today – MR. DEITY.
Brian talks about how the idea for the show came to him, his background as a “ForeMon” (a lapsed Mormon), his careers as a graphic artist, musician and filmmaker, the success of the show, the future of the show, and some production insights into how the put it together.
It was a lot of fun and if you haven’t already checked out MR DEITY, then do so now.
Don’t forget to make use of my new comments line – Aussies can dial into +613 9016 9699. The rest of you can either pay international charges (cmon, what price can you put on being on my show??) or just start begging me to set up an international number.

David Silverman has been an Atheist since he was six years old. He is an accomplished inventor with seventy-four patents, holds degrees in Marketing and Computer Science, and is the National Spokesperson for American Atheists, an organization in the U.S. dedicated to defending the civil liberties of atheists and advocating for the complete separation of church and state. He also writes their NoGodBlog
We talked today about the implications of the recent UN Human Rights Council’s resolution against “religious defamation” (link), his interview with Douglas Adams (link), the “Treaty Of Tripoli” (link), how he and his Jewish wife raise their ten-year old atheist daughter, why he likes the term “atheist” versus terms like “secular humanist”, the amazing story of Madalyn Murray O’Hair, aka “The Most Hated Woman In America” who was the founder of American Atheists, and how lucky I am living in a country like Australia where you can say “the A-word” and not get shunned from polite society.

Something a little different tonight… I was chatting with Benjamin Wilkoff tonight about doing a show for TPN about the intersection of education and Web2.0. We chatted about the challenge that the education system (and educators) seems to be having with adopting Web2.0 technologies rapidly into the classroom and curriculum as learning tools. I also spent some time explaining to Ben the vision and business model of TPN. As it turned out, Skylook was running in the background recording the show and I thought it might be something you’d be interesting in hearing.
Apologies for the sound quality – I was using my Logitech USB headset, not the normal mics.

Did you ever meet someone so positive, so UP!!!, that just talking to them makes you want to lie down and rest? Jason Womack is one of those guys. Jason is a keynote speaker, professional educator and executive coach. After working for The David Allen Company (Getting Things Done) for seven years as a senior trainer, not to mention running the occasional triathlon, he’s recently started his own company The Jason Womack Company which he describes as “a personal development education company”. I asked him why? “Because I wanted to be a beginner again.”
We chatted today about how he stays so up, what he plans to contribute to the betterment of the human race, how he manages his daily schedule, his tips and tricks for getting things done, and what kind of questions he asks himself.
Read Jason’s blog here. Okay… I need a lie down.

Well I’ve had some pretty big guests on this show over the years – Noam Chomsky, Ray Kurzweil, politicians, businessmen – but today is the biggest guest so far.
She’s the PodMother. The Matriarch of TPN. She goes by the pseudonym of Gran Jan but I know her as “mum”.
Ladies and Gentlemen – my mother. Jan Reilly.
She joins me to talk about… well… me.
We also talk about her views on religion, growing up with physical abuse, and living with alcoholism. And used condoms. Oh yeah. I’m going to need another five years of therapy after THAT comment. Listen to the last 60 seconds to know what I’m referring to.
