I'm going to be on radio station KPFK, 90.7 FM in LA, at 10:15am California time (12:15 Central time). You can also listen in via the web.
This is a left-wing Pacifica station, so I'm sure they'll be piping it into all the California shopping malls in place of Muzak, so if you're out shopping, maybe you'll hear me too.

Sweet! Now I'll have something to listen to while I write my reports.
Also, when are you ever going to visit Northern California, PZ?

January. I have a big tour planned for the end of January, hitting colleges from Sacramento to San Francisco.
Posted by: Charles Minus | November 27, 2009 12:46 PM
No offense PZ, but Sacramento to San Fransisco does not strike me as a big tour, more like a two hour drive. Think you could work a little Los Angeles/Long Beach/Orange County into the mix?

I know it's not quite as far south as bah-cal, but will you be able to visit squid in them parts? If so, take photies.

PZ is being welcomed to the show just now.
Posted by: John | November 27, 2009 1:20 PM
I look forward to January, then! I haven't stepped foot on a college campus since I graduated from UC Davis in 2002, so January should be interesting in more ways than one.
Do you know yet which colleges you'll be hitting?

So far, this sounds familiar.
Are you going to record an audio version of your book, PZ?
Posted by: freelunch | November 27, 2009 1:26 PM
Aside from metro Boston, is there anywhere in that distance that has as many colleges?

PZ, I suggest the Narwhal song for your monthly theme music.

Noooooo, not the narwhal song!
Just for that, everyone must suffer.

I must've just missed it ;(

That was fun! I hope he does succeed at making it a monthly feature. If you're heading anywhere near Stanford on your tour, I have a nephew with a radio show there, and he's always looking for interesting subjects.
Posted by: Bjørn Østman | November 27, 2009 1:39 PM
Wow, a monthly show with PZ just about his blog. Very nice. Next s TV show, perhaps?
I was listening in a bit before PZ came on, and the host uses the term 'Obama regime'. Curious, that.

A possible monthly gig? But you sound like a mild mannered college professor...
Posted by: Charles Minus | November 27, 2009 1:46 PM
"Aside from metro Boston, is there anywhere in that distance that has as many colleges?"
You could try Santa Monica to Santa Barbara, I'm sure. But I would hate to see this thread descend into a No Cal vs. So Cal debate. It might cause you to spill Merlot on your Birkenstocks.

It was a delight to hear PZ on the radio machine without his being forced to try to squeeze a word in edgewise in the midst of an opponent Gish-galloping, or punctuated by the slaps of repeated face-palming or the thumps of head-desking.
This has been quite the week for atheists on the air. I caught Richard Dawkins fielding stupid questions from callers on the Alan Combes program, who had Christopher Hitchens on perhaps the next night, with his book-tour debating partner, some professional Xtian theist of some flavor or other. Their polite sparring reminded me of the time Tim Leary went on a debating tour with G. Gordon Liddy.

Will be looking forward to the monthly program PZ. Did you happen to catch William Burroughs' Thanksgiving Prayer before you went on? Absolutely perfect.

OT (like I'm ever on topic), but Patrick Stewart wrote a piece in today's Guardian about domestic violence.

That was a great article. Thanks for the link.

You know it's bad when I'm forced to listen to Aqua's "Lollipop (Candyman)" followed by Styx's "Mr. Roboto" in order to get something terrible out of my head.

I had the narwhal song looping on my work computer for about 5 minutes one day.
I was threatened with bodily harm. :(

Yay! Hopefully you won't miss UC Berkeley :D I'm sure the atheist club here (SANE- students advocating a nonreligious ethos) will be very excited to hear this.

Blake Stacey, I find that blasting some Big Black will drive everything from my brain. You just need to get a copy of Atomizer.

No way will you be piped into the malls. I was, in fact, at a CA mall all day, taking advantage of Black Friday shopping for the first time in my life, and all they had in every store was Christmas music! Unless you've suddenly joined a Christmas carol band, I doubt you'll be heard during Thanksgiving shopping.

Since this appears to have turned into a music video thread, Close Encounters of the Redneck Kind.

Sorry I missed you this morning, PZ. I spent Black Friday in the desert (Red Rock Canyon and the Pinnacles) scouting our big Skeptics Society Death Valley tour for Jan. 16-18. Not much reception for KPFK in the northern Mojave. Hope you enjoyed our warm sunny SoCal weather in late November....

We got Pacifica emale today. Amy Goodman was trying to cross the border into Canada and the border guard helds her up and interrogated her.
They were concerned that she was going to badmouth the winter olympics???!!!
WTF???
She kept telling them she had no plans to any reporting on the olympics but they wouldn't believe her.
I guess they finally let her in.
wtf???

Little known "fun fact" : There are actually a lot of colleges between San Francisco and Sacramento. There's San Francisco City College, San Francisco State University, University of San Francisco (Catholic and until only a few years ago most of their office phones started with 666, I kid you not), UC San Francisco (Medical School), Alameda County has three community colleges and Contra Costa two, then there's UC Davis, Sacramento City College, American River College and Sac State. I'm pretty sure I missed some smaller private institutions and a few community colleges in between.
There's also monthly meetings of San Francisco Atheists and East Bay Atheists to consider as well. The SF one is the last Saturday of each month.

I've heard rumors he might be getting as far south as UC Santa Cruz and as far north as Chico.
#17, Susan, you should have your nephew (I assume he is on KZSU) contact AHA! (http://aha.stanford.edu/, Atheists, Humanists, Agnostics at Stanford).

Since this thread is sort of about Southern Cal, and since Donald Prothero posted in this thread, and since he is meant to be at a debate Monday night that I want to attend, I'll ask here...
Is it worth spending 20 bucks to see "The Darwin Debates" in L.A.? Will I just be lining the pockets of the American Freedom Alliance? Does that matter if I get to see Prothero and Michael Shermer wipe the floor with the other guys?
I'm torn.
Posted by: Sven DiMilo | November 29, 2009 12:09 AM
ah, Chico. I have had some good fucking times in Chico.
Justine, if you're out there, I still love you.
sorry. Carry on.
Posted by: Sven DiMilo | November 29, 2009 12:34 AM
Oh, yeah, and KPFK: I lived 12 y in LA and listened to it every Friday night, when 2 hipppies played Dead tapes. Still have many cassettes recorded from those guys.
