That’s an interesting idea; something can be so tragic that it’s funny. I wonder where the idea comes from. Yes, I know. Go and listen to that episode of your podcast and I’ll be sure to learn all about it.

On a different path to what you were talking about, but still in your comedic line, I was listening to a re-release of the podcast from Tyndale House and the Bible Society this week. I now can’t remember which episode it was, Andrew Ollerton was discussing with his guest some comedy in the First Testament. (If it was the episode with Daniel Block, then he has made the case for not calling the Old Testament by that name. I thought that I should give him some credit by calling it the same.)

They have re-released the first two series and now added a third one. I’m about to start that new one. I’ve found the first two really interesting so I’m going back for the third. I’m happy to give you the link if you’re interested and can’t find it.

Yes, big fan of Tyndale House and already have that on my pod catcher, and will get onto those sometime soon. Thanks for engaging on this! As a comedy writer and a Christian, this is an area of huge area of interest for me!

I thought it might have interested you so I’m glad that you have the podcast on your catcher already.

This Aussie is finding more and more podcasts from good ol’ England that are very interesting. And they’re taking up way too much of his time! I’m probably going to have to cut down on the podcasts from the country that you refer to as ‘across the pond’. I can’t say that one aloud. My wife is next to me and she is from that place.
