As I announced in Chapter 6, I created a BuzzFeed to help get the word out about OMGWTFBIBLE. Check out my list of “11 Surprising Bible Passages” here!

If you’re into the show and want other people to know about it, the easiest thing you can do is share this BuzzFeed. It’s also a great way for new listeners to get an idea of what the show is about. Will you, pretty please, blast it all over your various social networks? With your help, this show can reach tons and tons of more listeners.

Thank you, my wonderful audience!

A New Voice

About a month ago, I had a conversation with Catie Damon of New Voices Magazine about the podcast, my upbringing, the mythologies we create, and a not-very-eloquent post I made here a few months ago. New Voices had some very nice things to say about the show:

Each month on this monthly podcast, a guest reads a chapter of the Bible while New York comedian David Tuchman — a former Yeshiva boy turned agnostic — swears, jibes, and elucidates. His line by line explication drops quirky facts and sarcastic commentary. The result is often offensive, consistently hilarious, and surprisingly enlightening.

So check it out! It’s a nice read and in it, I get into some of the more philosophical stuff behind OMGWTFBIBLE that doesn’t make it to the podcast.

Ok, first thing’s first: if you’re still scratching your head over yesterday’s announcement, just take a look at the date.

Second: the facebook event for Episode 7 is now up! Our special guest this month is Lonnie Mann, an old high school mate of mine (and cartoonist) who will be joining me as we gleefully describe the destruction of Sodom and Gomora and discuss the modern implications of this chapter’s wacky sexual politics. Make your reservations now!

OMGWTFMORMON!

Announcement time! Perhaps you’ve noticed how quiet this blog has been lately. Really, though! I have a reason for it. Lately, I’ve been working on a brand-new project!

For a while, I thought OMGWTFBIBLE would stay focused on the Old Testament. Obviously, that book will still take a lot of work–but I thought in the meantime, I’d get started on my next translation. OMGWTFMORMON! Look below the fold for more. Seriously!

My Bible Won’t Have Obama in It

I know, I know. I still have to watch this somehow unstreamable show and live-tweet it. THIS WILL HAPPEN.

Anyway, some folks are freaking out because in the most recent episode of The History Channel’s The Bible, the character of Satan sorta kinda looked a lot like President Barack Obama. Whoops! I guarantee, my Bible will not feature any presidents, past or present.

Live Show! Next Monday!

Wow! What a busy week! I’ve been so wrapped up in very exciting secret behind-the-scenes OMGWTFBIBLE things that will make this show even more amazing (and other, more mundane, tasks) that I haven’t found any time to post. That and all the Jewish news this week has been kind of depressing and you can probably read sad things elsewhere. But we have a new Pope! How cute is the new Pope? He’s the cutest possible Pope! JUST LOOK AT THIS POPE!

The Cutest Pope

Pope Cuteness IV

I know he’s technically “Pope Francis” but I can’t help but call him “Pope Grandpa.”

Anyway, there is a live taping on Monday! Woohoo! If you can make it, I’d love to see you there!
