Philosophy talk is broadcast on Thursday nights in Portland and I was looking forward to hearing your show on the existence of God. Unfortunately, for me, this program will never exist, even though others will claim to have received enlightening emanations on this topic, and perhaps John and Ken will blog about this ?alleged? event now sliding into the mists and mythology of time. How ephemeral life is, even in the seemingly tangible realm of the physical.
This says something about the fragility of existence, that even though the transmission is broadcast loud and clear, it can evaporate into space, unknown, unreceived and unrecorded. Perhaps God suffers technical difficulties as well, relying on the delicate mechanism of human minds and hearts to be receptive to the possibility of paradise.

Ken,
We out here in the ethersphere who will never know the mysteries you unveiled this week all await your comments!

Well, Ken and John, here is something not altogether inappropriate:
"These here questions - why God gives the gallstones here and don't give
the gallstones over there, why He holds one guy's dinner down and makes
another guy throw up his dinner - those questions have boggled great minds
through the ages, Edith." - Archie Bunker on Divine Sovereignty
In any case, congratulations on another wonderful year of Philosophy Talk.

Hello from a new listener. I stumbled upon this site recently as a result of a google search on Hume and Nietzsche. This is a great project and I hope you are able to continue, God willing of course.

RE: the "encore" programming of 'What is Beauty' on KALW, San Francisco, 12/17/05...
I would very much appreciate a response from (Prof. Alexander?), as he offered on the orginal brocasting of the discussion...
To the following posit:
That universal beauty simply does not exist within the confines of time and space, neither in the worlds of nature nor humankind.
Yet certainly, such a thing does exist, but outside of those finalities.
What then, would it be?
I think I have an idea but, I find it difficult to articulate it!
Can you suggest what this is?
Thanks.

为什么不问问有没有人录了?我不能相信在这个时代，人们有TIVO类型的广播设备，一个节目实际上是通过广播消失了。我敢打赌，如果你在广播中询问，有人会自愿提供一份。它的质量可能比不上工作室版本，但也算不错了。

Hey Logicnazi:
Actually, at least two listeners stepped up and let us know that they had recorded the program. Neither of the recordings is of broadcast quality. But we're going to post them on our archive page in the next couple of days.
我们得做点有点反常的事。取一个mp3文件并将其转换为流媒体格式。但很快——希望很快——我们将有一个实验性的播客服务上线并运行。不幸的是，播客需要我们去掉所有的音乐。我们的技术人员在这方面进展缓慢。
Anyway, stay tuned. Maybe there is a god after all.

技术人员可以做得更好。The real media link for the 'environment and progress' show (//www.f8r7.com/EnvironmentandProgress.htm) plays the previous kant show recording. This has happened a few times in the past already.
