In this episode, Dustin discusses the following topics:

2) A psychic’s tip about a mass grave in Texas turns out to be false! Who could have predicted this? Probably a better psychic… This story features a live audio recording of the psychic, revealing her identity once and for all!

4) Tea Party summer camps. Yes, it’s real. When Glenn Beck and the Bible aren’t enough indoctrination, you can always send your children here to ensure they become misinformed douchebags.

Welcome to the first Saint Gasoline podcast! The Saint Gasoline podcast is a humor podcast focused on political news and intellectual crap. Being represented by the patron saint of all things inflammatory, some listeners may find this podcast offensive due to the language—which is often verbose and overly loquacious. Oh, and also because I use curse words. In Episode 0, I discuss the following wonderful topics:

1. New abortion legislation in South Dakota

(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/22/south-dakota-abortion-bil_n_839063.html)

2. The advisor on sexual abuse for the Pope is accused of abusing children – you can’t make this shit up

(http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2072613,00.html)

3. Dustin reviews the trailer for the movie Atlas Shrugged

4. Gettin’ Personal – Dustin talks about his social awkwardness and how that affects his bathroom habits

5. Cell phones probably don’t cause cancer, despite what recent news says

(The bride of the son of the revenge of cell phones and cancer rises from the grave…againp)

*Bonus: Dustin gives Anthony Weiner advice about how to talk to the media about your penis.

In lieu of writing more, I’ve decided to start podcasting. I already have everything set up and ready to go, and all I really need to do now is finish editing what I’ve recorded and record a few more stories. I will still post the occasional blog entry, but I suspect most of my creativity and writing will be spent on the podcast.

What is the Saint Gasoline podcast? It will essentially be just like the Saint Gasoline blog, except with my annoying voice! I will report on my usual topics of interest—science, politics, skepticism, and all sorts of other news items—being sure to add the special touch that is my immature sense of humor to each and every piece. Occasionally I may present crappily performed skits or interview people, but mostly this is going to be a one-man show.

For the first segments of the podcasts, I will comment on news items that interest me, hopefully in a manner that you find amusing. The next segment will consist of me ranting about whatever happens to be stuck in my craw at the moment. Although if something is stuck in my craw, the rant will usually be about what’s stuck in my craw. I’m not sure what other segments I’ll include later, but for now this will be the basic structure of the podcast. If you have any ideas or suggestions about what you’d like to hear from me, let me know!

I expect to have the first episode up by Monday, June 6, and from then on out I’ll try to have a new episode out every Monday. This may or may not last very long depending on how long I can stand to listen to my own voice and whether I’m any good at talking for extended periods to someone other than my imaginary friend Larry.
