To Commemorate the Day the Music Died

– By Warner Todd Huston

Today is the 50th anniversary of the terrible plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and Jiles “The Big Bopper” Richardson. There is quite an interesting story about The Big Bopper’s son that I discuss in today’s podcast.

Rush Limbaugh and Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston

Last year, Rush Limbaugh read one of my Op Eds and reacted to it. I’ve had Rush read about 5 or so of my pieces, but here is one that I have the audio on.

The Newest Podcast: Barn Yard Justice

-By Warner Todd Huston

Here is a little “theater of the mind” that I did when I was doing the Voices of Liberty podcast back in 2007. And it is a good one to bring back as with George W. Bush fairly out, a president strong on national defense, and Barack Obama fairly in, a president widely expected to be a weakling, this one is a timely reminder of what Bush had to do to keep us safe.

I was always amused by this one, so I thought I’d revive it for this edition of the Publius’ Forum podcast.

Today’s Podcast: Accountants Demand Bailout

-By Warner Todd Huston

I have been doing podcasts for a while, now, and from here on in they will appear here when posted at TalkShoe. I am finally getting around to being a bit more proactive in alerting you all to the podcasts.

This one is a reading of my satire posted several days ago, Accountants Seek Bailout.

Warner Todd Huston vs Crooks and Liars

-By Warner Todd Huston

I was asked to be a part of a podcast for http://www.skewz.com. The quality of the recording is not so hot, but that is a minor annoyance. At least you can understand all involved for the most part. Go on over and give it a listen.

Skewz Podcast #36: Sound-Off- Mike Finnigan of Crooks and Liars and Warner Todd Huston of NewsBusters Talk About Media Bias in the 2008 Election

We had a blast speaking to Mike Finnigan of Crooksandliars.com and Warner Todd Huston of Newsbusters.org. We discussed how the media may have played a role, if any, in the 2008 election. Mike was in rare form and Warner and I had a good time keeping up with him. Of course, Warner felt the treatment of Palin was especially abusive. Mike, as you might have guessed, didn’t entirely agree. Listen in and decide what you think.

We hope you enjoy the conversation with Mike and Warner as much as we did.

It’s Me, It’s Me, It’s WT on Skewz Podcast #14

-By Warner Todd Huston

I had the great pleasure to sit down with Vipul Vyas of skewz.com last week and the result was what they are wonderfully titling Skewz Podcast #14: A Romp Through The History of Media Bias with Warner Todd Huston of Newsbusters.org. It may be a mouthful of a title, but it was a mouthful of an interview. That Vipul Vyas fellow can really talk. Why I hardly got a word in edgewise… well, OK. I had a few things to say.

Ostensibly, Vipul and I were going to discuss my work with NewsBusters.org — which we did — but the discussion ranged over quite a bit more ground than just that and it was nice to have enough time to just let the conversation go where it would. Vipul was a gracious and intelligent host, as well, and he made the interview a breeze.

Be sure and range on over to the podcast and take a listen. It was a lot of fun and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

And Will Obama Save Us From Our Sins?: Adoration Of Candidate Borders On The Fanatically Frightening

-By Frederick Meekins

As the United States edges ever closer to tyranny with freedom dieing a little more each year with the passage of new laws, the handing down of judicial rulings, and the promulgation of executive orders, it is assumed by increasing numbers that it is the role of government to provide for all of our needs and to save us from our own worst tendencies irrespective of whether or not these are matters we want massive bureaucracies poking into our private lives about. As bad as such intrusions are, the fear such a scenario provokes pales in comparison to the almost messianic mantel being bestowed upon Barack Obama, qualified (we are told) to hold the highest elected government office in the land for no other reason than that he happens to be Barack Obama.

When Americans went into the voting booth, it use to be expected they would cast their franchise for the individual most capable of administering the reigns of the executive branch. Never was the individual to be chosen meant to give the teeming masses their purpose for existence. However, with the rise of Barack Obama as he seeks to win the 2008 Democratic nomination for the presidency, his campaign has taken on increasingly utopian tones.

For example, posted on the April 1, 2008 Guardian is a column titled “Obama Is The Change That America Has Tried To Hide”, arguing that only one candidate offers the radical departure from the normal that the 21st century US needs for its own sake as well as the rest of the world. In the piece, the reader finds accolades and platitudes as revolutionarily disturbing as anything from the time of the Bolshevik uprising and the Red Menace in terms of the new order this man’s disciples hope to impose upon society.

For example, the piece speaks of “a new country existing alongside the old”. Few commentators will possess the fortitude to translate this phrase honestly, but what that means is essentially that the holy Barack should have the presidency bestowed upon him for no other reason than that he happens to be half Black. The sentiment also implies that those daring to vote against him had better watch out when the riots start either after his victory or defeat.

SEIU Prez Stern’s Cutthroat Tactics of Personal Destruction

-By Warner Todd Huston

SEIU insurgent leader Sal Rosselli scolds Andy Stern over his campaign to destroy the UHW. This has been a vicious fight and some very underhanded tactics were perpetrated by Stern and his henchmen.

Ah, the politics of personal destruction raises its ugly head again. And, let me remind you, THIS is how union folks treat each other! Imagine how ruthless, uncaring, and cutthroat they will be with the rest of us!

The Voice of Liberty Podcast Network

Looking for one of the most professionally produced conservative podcasts on the Internet? Try the Voice of Liberty Podcast Network with its weekly episode appearing every Monday morning.

The Voice of Liberty Podcast features the conservative voices of four fine bloggers who first got together at the 2007 Conservative Leadership Conference in Reno, Nevada. Andrea Shea-King, talk show host and blogger, Ken Marrero, blogger and political activist, Warner Todd Huston, blogger, teacher and speaker and your host, John McJunkin, radio man, operator of Avalon Podcasting, and blogger will all be heard on this weekly podcast effort.

The world is changing – the Internet has increasing sway over political opinions, and it’s time for the conservative side of the world to leverage it in order to influence people. The right-wing blogosphere is sailing along at full steam and has largely counterbalanced any advantage that the left presumed would accrue to them by blogging. The one area that remains wide open for the right to step in and dominate is the audio-only podcast, which is very similar to another medium that we own – talk radio. The difference is that anyone and everyone can do it, just like blogging. As a matter of fact – we like to think of audio podcasting as “verbal blogging” if you will. We are going to “promote conservative American values and principles” just like it says in our masthead. We invite you to join us each week for 20-30 minutes of punditry and opinion from the right.

Voice of Liberty Podcast #7

In episode #7, we make an un-endorsement, offer up a little music, and bring you our usual brand of conservative opinion. Although the contributors do not agree on every issue, one sentiment that we all share is that Mike Huckabee should not be nominated by the Republican Party. Host John McJunkin shares his opinions as to why that is the case. We bring you a special musical treat this week as well – “Barackin’ Around The Christmas Tree,” a parody produced by Matt Tucker and Ryan Gardner for Platinum Traxx Productions and Niel Townsend. It was sung by the super-talented Ashley Scott, and should be the conservative parody hit of the Christmas season. For information on how to get the song, e-mail John McJunkin at john@avalonpodcasting.com. Andrea Shea-King tells us about a pivotal American hero, George S. Patton, Jr., Warner Todd Huston exposes the truth behind Hillary Clinton’s liberal screed “It Takes A Village,” and Ken Marrero gives us his take on the new film “Golden Compass.” Host John McJunkin wraps up the episode with reason number 6 Why Mrs. Clinton Will Never Be President.

I hadn’t mentioned this on Publius’ Forum much because I wanted to see how it was going to work out. But, I feel gratified with the finished product of the 5 podcasts we have done thus far. Here is the synopsis for episode #5:

In episode #5, Warner Todd Huston asks whether Americans can voluntarily give up their rights. Andrea Shea-King delivers some straight talk about communism and liberalism. Ken Marrero reminds us that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. And host John McJunkin wraps up the episode with reason number 4 in his 50-part weekly series, “Why Mrs. Clinton Will Never Be President.”

John McJunkin of Avalon Podcasting has been the tech guy behind this collaborative effort. Here is how he describes our venture:

The world is changing – the Internet has increasing sway over political opinions, and it’s time for the conservative side of the world to leverage it in order to influence people.

In our first episode, John McJunkin talks about how this podcast came about. Andrea Shea-King pays tribute to a true American hero – General Paul Tibbets. Warner Todd Huston calls for the termination of all government employees . . . really.
