The Camels With Hammers Show - Bisexual Activist Patrick Richardsfink
Over the summer I had a blast spending a day with the St. Cloud State University Secular Student Alliance. I decided to relive the magic and share it with you by inviting some of the people I met onto The Camels With Hammers Show. We wound up not having a freewheeling discussion but instead I essentially did four interviews, each fifteen minutes.
The first quarter of the video I asked bisexual activist and exciting new blogger Patrick RichardsFink about various misconceptions and theories of bisexuality.

Lesbian Talk, Episode 19: Rational Thought: How does it work?
Hold the presses, it’s
In this week’s primary podcast, your skeptical hosts The Omega & Diamanda Hagan welcome Youtube’s “Queen Of Atheism” Zinna Jones to talk about a colorful collection of topics that are sure to break your mind at least a little!
Amongst the things they discussed are sun burns on spring break, the inherent strangeness of the Eucharist and youth groups of its fans, death matches of butch lesbians vs. huge bugs, the Insane Clown Posse and, of course, Zinnia’s work & life.
If you enjoyed Zinnia Jones’ contribution to this episode - which is rather likely - you can find her online on Youtube and on Freethoughtblogs.com.
In the second half of the show, crustacean encyclopedia Giovanni Jones tells you about the danish. No, that one, not those.
In the weekly Who recap, Hagan and Omega journey to the center of the Tardis and enjoy some of the sights on the way (as well as their awesome new background for the segment, courtesy of skzip888). Of course, they discuss the strong and weak points of the episode and the lore, which gives Omega a chance to conceptualize some ideas.
Lesbian Talk is brought to you by Project Million Entertainment and is also available on Youtube, iTunes and in MP3 format for your mobile devices.
