Aaron and I risk our careers to talk about a very controversial figure, Milo Yiannopoulos. We are giving commentary on the recent Eric Metaxas show that Milo appeared in. We talk about the strange disconnect between Milo's beliefs about homosexuality and his lifestyle, how hosts interact with guests on interview shows, whether or not Milo is really conservative, and a host of other issues.
Listen to the episode here.
Metaxas' interview with Milo can be found here.

Apologist Recommendation: Edward Feser
In this series, I will recommend certain scholars and apologists to our readers and listeners. These are people that I believe are worth listening to because they are informed and give good arguments and insights into the subjects that they study, which helps intellectually equip Christians so that they can grow in their own faith and their outreach towards non-Christians. I am not claiming that these scholars and apologists have everything correct, but I think they are intellectual powerhouses that we can learn much from.
Edward Feser
Dr. Feser is a Catholic philosopher who teaches at Pasadena City College. Being a Catholic, his metaphysics is heavily influenced by Aquinas, which may make his philosophy slightly different from other well-known Christian apologists like William Lane Craig, but his material is still valuable. A lot of his material is academic, but he has a lot of more popular-level materials that offer great arguments and insights. Here are some of his works.
His Blog
Feser regularly writes on his blog, where you can find his thoughts on everything philosophy, theology, Catholicism, and apologetics. This is a good place to go to introduce yourself to his material.
Atheism
Dr. Feser has a lot of scathing and often hilarious critiques of the "New Atheism" and particular atheist writers. In book form, he wrote The Last Supertition, which is a critique of the new atheism. His criticisms of Jerry Coyne are all entertaining to read. He has a review of Coyne's book, Faith Versus Fact, on First Things. You can also find his blog posts and articles critiquing Coyne here and here. Feser also critiques Lawrence Krauss, a physicist and atheist, here. He has a lot more material on atheism and responses to atheist apologists, so look them up.
Existence of God
Dr. Feser has also written on the arguments for the existence of God. His new book, Five Proofs of the Existence of God, is pretty self-explanatory. Feser is also interviewed here, where he responds to Dawkins' critiques of the arguments for God's existence in his book, The God Delusion.
Misc.
I recommend just looking through his blog for more materials. He has a lot of articles on philosophy of mind, ethical issues like sexual ethics, abortion, and capital punishment, explanations of Catholic docrines, and much, much more. I hope you learn a lot from his resources.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 28
Aaron and I are back together, but this episode is definitely more somber and honest than the others. We start out by giving our thoughts on the new scandal in the Catholic church. We then move on to bearing our souls to our audience by talking about the pain in our lives and the things that have made things difficult for us. I hope our honesty can help you get some perspective on your own troubles and help you realize that you are not alone in struggling with life.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 8
Aaron didn't join us for this one, but don't worry. I didn't leave him or lock him in the closet or anything. We actually recorded one together earlier today, but that one isn't up yet.
Here is my interview with Adrian Urias on his journey from atheism to Protestant Christianity and then to Catholicism. I also ask Adrian to respond to some basic Protestant objections to Catholicism. Adrian's background is very interesting and involves issues like Marxism, Capitalism, Communism, freedom, equality, and other high-concept stuff.
Forgive some of my heavy breathing in the beginning of the interview. It doesn't overpower the dialogue and it only last for a very short time, so don't worry too much about it.
I'm finally getting the hang of the editing software, so the transition from intro music to the actual talking is much smoother.
