A new podcast. A town without pity, nuking Iran, John Kerry's spiritual depth, the Gospel of Judas, whether the Ten Commandments are interesting rules, boredom and philosophy, how to escape from a boring conversation, and that big argument about punk culture.
You don't need an iPod to listen. You can stream it here. Note: I've made a sound improvement.

You're thinking of a verson of the SM that isn't what anyone does anymore.
You're problem Sippian- I had the same problem before. Try downloading it or, if that's what you are doing, use a different web browser
Sippican: I hope you can figure it out. I read one of your long comments.
Ruth Anne: I alternate between questioning and lecturing. True Socratic Method restricts the teacher to questions. That takes a lot of fortitude to carry out. Solid lecturing is the easiest approach and quite fun for the teacher, but it's actually very hard for the students to really hear a lecture and absorb everything. A good portion of the students will say they were confused and it made no sense.
Thanks for the podcast. I agree, Sippican's comments to the Slutfest post were highly entertaining, though it's going to drive me crazy trying to figure out what you deleted.
As for teaching, I teach 1st year drawing at an art school and it's interesting to try to adapt the teaching methods of more mental disciplines to a quite physical discipline like drawing. I suppose my method is more in the Socratic tradition- much of our long sessions are spent having the students draw from models. Then we engage in class dialogues in response to what they have done in their drawings, and how they could improve aspects of their techniques- all based on being able to assess their own (and their colleague's) work critically.
I quite relish the opportunities I have to do straight lecturing though, such as teaching systems of perspective or the historical divide between drawing and color, and especially technical lectures on the origins and use of materials. Thankfully I will be teaching a class on that in the fall, so I'll be able to indulge my delight in lecturing.
Here's the text of a new comment of mine, back at the old punk thread:
Well, Nicole has started emailing me, flailing wildly, but she refused permission to reprint the email she sent me, so I've taken down the post [that is, comment] I did on the subject. Suffice it to say, she's doing the ultra-punk thing of telling the dean about me. You know, me, who just quoted her, and let a discussion flow in public, where she could fully participate.
It was interesting that she was so thin-skinned about reading her own quote and hearing ordinary people respond to it. She's accepting of all body types, sexualities, genders, and esthetics, but pissed as hell at diverse ideas.
I've never encountered that before.
Feel free to go back there and carry on.
Sippican: The music is described in this old post. One of my sons is there (John) and his old band mate Brit Rice. I suggested the lyrics, casually, and they went off and did the recording and surprised me with it one day -- one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me. They tried to get a 60s sound of a kind that they thought I would like, and I do.
I'll check out the blog. Cyrkle, Barry Sadler -- I've heard both of them recently on 60s on 6 (XM Radio).
If the guy is dead, it's probably not actionable libel anymore, but still...
