End of the Penn Jillette show

March 4th, 2007 - 21:33 | 2 comments

One of my favourite podcasts just ended: the Penn Jillette radio show went off the air after they were apparently unable to reconcile a longer talkshow format with Penn’s schedule. Damn, I used to listen to that show all the time! As well as the large amount of atheistic content, one of my favourite moments had Penn receiving an on-air call from his wife, who told him she was having the baby and he should really come to the hospital now. A couple of very entertaining recent episodes had the Bad Astronomer fighting a US game-show host who is convinced the moon landings were faked. Ah well, I’ll just have to start buying the Bullshit! DVD box sets. And find something else to listen to while driving.

I was also a fan. I saw ‘Penn and Teller get Killed’ in the bargain bin at touchwood this Saturday. I wouldn’t recommend it but for £1.99 you could get it for ‘this is so bad it’s actually funny’ value. Other films which fall into this category are:

Munich

The scene at the end is so hilarious that the guy I was watching it with actually had to go to the toilet laughing.

Thank you for the link to that Radio clip - it was great.

I also regularly watch the Bullshit show, mostly for its value as entertainment. As a pure “science show” I it sometimes leaves quite a lot to be desired. It always makes me in a good mood though!
