Richard Carrier, who will be coming back later this year/early next year for one or two episodes, has posted a glowing review of the Reprobates Hour in his longer essay recapping his various media appearances. Excerpted here:

The best net radio show I ever recorded, definitely my personal favorite, was a lengthy in-studio interview for the Polyschizmatic Reprobates Hour, which was recorded quite a while ago, though it aired much later. You can listen to this online here (it’s free): Episode 4 (Season 1). This is a great example of why I like in-studio recordings and absolutely loathe phone-in shows. Not only is the quality and editing far superior, and not only was it more comfortable to record, but with face-to-face interaction the show is more lively and entertaining. Likewise, because I was right there with him it was much easier to understand and react to my interviewer (rather than misunderstanding each other, getting confused or unclear, talking past each other or over each other, or exchanging a monotonous series of canned questions and lengthy monologues). The difference shows here.

I also love this episode because Dan the Demented is an awesome interviewer. His questions and comments, and his particular interests, took the show in very interesting directions that allowed me to actually expand on my philosophy in ways that go well beyond everything I’ve published. You will understand my worldview, and many elements of my take on philosophy, far better from listening to this show. The ostensive topic was how my naturalism differs as a worldview from that of other naturalist philosophers, and in answering that I go through all five Aristotelian divisions of philosophy, but I don’t just summarize my book (thanks mostly to Dan). I got to talk a lot more about aesthetic philosophy, for example, something too few seem interested in (a curious fact that also comes up in the interview). I am usually asked to talk about the same boring old topics, like the resurrection or historicity of Jesus, or summarizing Sense and Goodness without God over and over again. This show was a lot more fun.

Dan’s philosophy is to get atheist authors to talk about things they aren’t usually asked to discuss, but which they know quite a lot about, which makes his show more interesting than most. I’m certain my fans will love my interview with him. Even my enemies might enjoy it. It’s only an hour, and we recorded another hour’s worth, but Dan hasn’t figured out how to edit that other material yet. We might record a bit more to fill it out and generate another show (as promised at the end of episode 4). We’re also going to do a show next year on, ironically, Rodney Stark’s awful treatment of ancient science. I’ll blog about these when they air.

Thanks for the blurb, Richard!
