Podcasts (Revised with Jay's response)
Thanks for the queries about new podcasts. Been getting emails from people I've never heard of about them. Jon has decided we're officially rockstars. I think he was assailed by a mob of goateed emergent church planters when he tried to leave his house the other day.
Wired Parish has gone through some changes of late, and Jon and I are on recording hold. Jay is free to explain what is going on in the comments, and if he does respond, I'll add it to this post. I'm not sure the casts are still available on the Christianity Today site, but if they are, there will be some newer ones there. As soon as we get the go ahead from Jefe Jay, we'll be podcasting again.
And here is his response:
I'm here! I'm here! Email forthcoming to Jason (finally). Short version for your esteemed readers - We've run into roadblocks (mainly partner/investor-related. ugh!) that have warranted a production halt for a few more weeks. We're by no means going away, and as GH hinted above, we're likely making as shift to an ad-supported (read: free) model. More news as it happens . . .





Are the podcasts free?

When did Pat Robertson join the Israeli Parliament?
story from BBC posted just now: Israeli MP blames quakes on gays
Ultra-Orthodox Jews protest in Jerusalem
An Israeli MP has blamed parliament's tolerance of gays for earthquakes that have rocked the Holy Land recently.
Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave "legitimacy to sodomy".
Israel decriminalised homosexuality in 1988 and has since passed several laws recognising gay rights.
Two earthquakes shook the region last week and a further four struck in November and December.
Adoption
Mr Benizri made his comments while addressing a committee of the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, about the country's readiness for earthquakes.
He called on lawmakers to stop "passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".
Israeli court rulings in recent years have granted inheritance rights to gay couples and recognised same-sex marriages performed abroad.
Last week, Israel's attorney general ruled same-sex couples could adopt.

Thanks greg. I've been wondering why the radio silence, and since I've received no response from the always responsive F/K/A wired parish folks, I was wondering if there were some behind the scenes issues.

Joe,
The podcasts cost. Not sure what the new plan will be; it may be advertiser supported.
Jason,
Thanks. Jay will be happy to know that your experience with the company has been steadfast silence. Jay...where are you?
