The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 43

Aaron and I cap off the year with one more BS episode.  This time, we talk about anime.  We talk about what constitutes an anime, what distinguishes anime from non-anime, what even is an "anime style," what shows got anime rolling here in America, a little bit about English dubs, and some good anime series or movies to start out with if you haven't watched anime before.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 41

Aaron and I are going to focus on less politically, socially, and philosophically heavy things in the rest of the episodes this year.  It's break time, so we want to take it easy.  That doesn't mean those topics won't come out of our mouths though.

Aaron and I are all over the place in this episode.  We talk about the Aquaman movie, which Aaron recently watched, superhero movies in general, the Gospel, some apologetics, our thoughts on Ben Shapiro's interview with John MacArthur, stuff about the spiritual vs. the psychological, and more.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 40

This is the first in a line of episodes that we are calling BS episodes.  In this episode, Aaron and I start with a brief update on our lives and then get self-indulgent and talk for almost 3 hours about our favorite hobby: video games.  We talk a little bit about the ethics of video game playing and some of the issues with playing a lot of video games, but we mostly talk about our favorite video games, video game news, some strange Bible-based video games that exist, and video game recommendations.

Listen to the episode here.

Some (but not all) of the games mentioned in the episode

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask
Chrono Trigger
Shenmue
Super Metroid

Metal Gear Solid series
Bloodborne

Some weird Bible games

And many more!

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 39

Aaron's Description of the Episode

Brian Godawa came back (I know...we're just as baffled by our repeat guests as everyone else is, but bafflement and gratitude are not only not mutually exclusive but complementary) and we talk about eschatology, dispensationalism, the awesomeness of the Bible, but most importantly for present purposes his latest series of books! The Chronicles of the Apocalypse tells a tale of epic proportions concerning the destruction of the temple in AD 70, the monstrous Nero, the persecution of the fledgling Christ followers, and the true battles going on in the heavenly realms that effect our world to this day. Go buy these books as Christmas presents and maybe Godawa will return (or strike back) on our humble pod some day! But seriously go buy his stuff. He's a good dude who writes good stuff: amzn.to/2RBxmVz 

We're getting pretty desperate to find ways to meet our last 8 episodes so after this one the quality will be going down significantly (merry Christmas). Aaron may even do a couple episodes where he just reads old articles and does some commentary on them. This will be a sad attempt to straighten out some of the more complicated ideas for his alleged book project (cough, everybody needs dreams, cough).
