Greetings dear listeners. Approximately the first minute of this edition of News Circus is missing. An asymptotic quantum flux at the time of broadcast disrupted the localized neutrino stream….ah, what the heck: I forgot to push the “record” button. Ok. I admit it. I messed up.

News Circus #17 20 April 2010

In this episode we plumb the depths of plumbing…NOT!

In actuality we introduce the Platonic origin of substance dualism in a dialogue performed by your very own NewsCircus hosts.

We also relate various popular cultural facts such as the fact that the most ever viewed video on YouTube is “Bad Romance” by Lady GaGa.

Dig it, -NewsCircus

News Circus #16 6 April 2010

Sorry we’ve been so late in posting this episode. Apparently, the uploads time out if we leave them for too long. In this installment, your intrepid hosts discuss the subtle difference between believing in God and believing in the existence of God. Actually, the difference is not that subtle.

Sorry if you’ve been waiting a whole week for this. The upload cut off in the middle of the night. In this episode, we talk about all the glorious things happening in North Korea today. Listen hard!

News Circus #14 2 March 2010

Hello all!

In this show we ponder the great questions on life such as: “What’s for dinner?” and “What is the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)?”

Thanks for listening!

Like the Pharaoh’s slaves, we’ve been building monuments that will stay in human memory forever. The Israelites called theirs “pyramids”, and we call ours “News Circus”, but we understand each other all the same. We look forward to your impending return to our crumbling empire.

A noble creature.

This is The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) YouTube Channel. At the link I gave you, you can search the available lecture videos by subject. I am currently viewing “Philosophy of Love in the Western World.”

There are many subjects from Computer Science to an introductory course in Algorithms.

If you have not heard of MIT it is a very highly regarded institution. it is the home of Noam Chomsky.

Welcome back to the big top, boys and girls! This week, your intrepid hosts chat at length about religious tension in Malaysia. Watch them fumble for words other than “god” that can signify that concept. When they try to define the difference between “God” and “god” orally, it really gets convoluted! Listen hard, people.

News Circus #10 2 Feb 2010

In this episode we experience ourselves in front of a microphone once again. Tune in to find how things turn out!
