Already listened. It was kind of fun putting it on my iPod before going to gym. You'd be surprised how well Georgian guidestones meshed with beating the s*** out of a punchbag. Oh, also, I have to disagree with the statement that "improving fitness and diversity" is Nazi-like. Nazis were aiming for creating one, monolithic human race. In my opinion, this message explicitly warns us from becoming monolithic beings. Instead, it promotes diversity - differences in humanity.

Overall, really fun to listen to. Listening to older episodes of This Modern Death", I also have to praise You guys for NOT bringing any women into the show. No offence to Shaun Hayworth, but these early episodes were sidetracking WAY too much - which is understandable, considering there's a gorgeous lady sitting right next to him.

glad you liked it! I think we will be staying on topic, thats one of the big annoyances I have with quite a bit of podcasts is they sidetrack and talk about things I dont care about or cared to know about.

Cool - really glad you liked it! Like Vince says, we're keen to stay focussed on gaming, or topics that can be directly applied to gaming. Great that you were able to get some decent punchbag material out of the show, lol . Thanks for the feedback and for listening in!

(I agree, by the way, that there's nothing Nazi-like about diversity. I just find the advice to "guide reproduction" a bit creepy. I like the idea that there might be something slightly sinister hidden behind the otherwise sensible advice on the stones )
