This Shabcast is an accompaniment to this month's edition of Pex Lives, which features the long-awaited encounter between Phil Sandifer (from off of TARDIS Eruditorum) and 'Vox Day' (from off of fascism and fucking up the Hugo Awards). Kevin and James have kindly turned the June installment of Pex Lives over to the Sandifer/Vox Day interview, in which Phil quizzes Vox about his attitudes towards two texts, One Bright Star to Guide Them by John C. Wright (which Vox loves and Phil hates) and Iain M. Banks' The Wasp Factory (which Vox hates and Phil loves).
Shabcast 6 is something in the way of an 'afterparty' for Phil, in which Phil chats with myself, Kevin and James about the Vox Day interview. Very much necessary listening. And lots of fun. After the serious business of the interview itself, the four of us kick back and have a chat which veers from the serious to the plain giggly.
This Shabcast also features frequent and vehement contributions by my elderly, crotchety and extremely loud-voiced bengal cat Quiz. You won't be able to understand her, but I can... and she's telling me to kill.

Partway through and enjoying this very much (especially Quiz's contributions. Just wanted to comment that I too have felt profound existential horror and dread at the thought of the punitive, omnipotent concept of deity which inspires some Christians. In my case, and this is a little embarrassing, it was a depiction of hell in a Chick tract. What soothed my terror was the recollection that much of what Chick says about history, the world, and even the Bible is demonstrably false. Hell is just the limitless human capacity for cruelty imagined as literally limitless.
