The Preterist Podcast is part of a trio of resources for the study of orthodox preterism including The PreteristSite and The Preterist Blog. A more personal site, d-dizzle fo shizzle, is being worked on still (pathetic, I know). Don’t visit yet – the theme sucks, and I need to change it. If you do not share my love of Xena, 24, and Apple – prolly not a place you will want to visit. If you are an Apple freak as I am, be sure to check out i drank the koolaid; a satirical Apple fan blog. Additionally, I am now involved in a new project: MAS TV. You may subscribe through iTunes or MyAppleSpace.
Dee Dee can be reached preteristpodcast@gmail.com and can be followed on Twitter (hyperpreterists and those who might as well be hyperpreterists, don’t bother; I will block you). Visit the PreteristSite’s Information Page for more information on Dee Dee and the various preterist websites.

[...] Ep.21- Black Hole Sun [...]
Haven’t yet started the actual meat of the episode, but wanted to say before I forget that I was impressed that you actually admitted you had something critical to say if iLoons. There may just be hope for you yet! Just as Carl was saved from the brainwashing he was undergoing in Room 24, so too might it not be too late for you! I’ll be praying for you!
I got over it. Just bought a bunch of stuff from iTunes, have recevied Steve’s forgiveness, and feel a lot better.
LOL!
Oh, by the way, congratulations on your scholarship to seminary!
Another great episode in your commentary on the discourse. Thanks for the hard work! I was, however, left a bit wanting. Forgive me for my historical ignorance, but could you briefly describe how and when Isaiah 13, Ezekiel 32 and Isaiah 34 were fulfilled? I don’t doubt that these prophesied events which have already taken place, but I’m woefully ignorant of middle east and Bible land history. When I share these passages with futurists, I would love to be able to explain when they were fulfilled.
Oh, and Isaiah 32.
Hi Lover of Unmentionable Abominations, what I am doing with followup questions is putting them on the agenda to cover when I get to a stopping point in the series. So I will put it in my folder of things to cover (I did receive the detailed email, thank you).
BTW, go check out the PreteristBlog for the hatemail I got since the author decided not only to insult me but also anyone who thinks I make any sense. Now, obviously insulting you for your choice in …. devices…. is okay; claiming we all have the skill level of a 7th grader is a bit over the top. I just know he uses Windows. I just know it. Harsh? Yes, but hey, you should see what pain he inflicted upon the English language. Yay for American public schools!
Wow, what a j… bluejay! Yeah when I was in 7th grade I would have taken offense and called you a cyanocitta cristata had you described his grammar as being that of a 7th grader’s. I think my 7-year-old son… No, I think my 3-year-old son writes better and makes fewer syntactical mistakes! I, however, am a dunce
Our passerine friend’s obvious grammatical incompetence aside, you’ve got to admire his analogical creativity! See, you understated the majesty of his metaphor when you said he claimed you “have excrement coming out of the wrong end of my body.” Dysentery, after all, is not merely excrement; it’s inflammation, and ulceration, leading to mucous and hemorrhagic diarrhea. And what’s more, people like myself are said to imbibe this loathsome cocktail! Wow, I’m just in awe of the volume of insult packed into that relatively small word!
As for this corvid’s choice of operating system, sadly I must admit I think you’re right that he uses Windows. However, that’s really not saying much because Windows has the vast majority of the client operating system market. I’ll grant you that, at least for the time being, it’s a decreasing market share. Still, in terms of the average home user, I suspect Windows is even more ubiquitous among client operating systems than iPod is among music players! It’s a fair bet that most orthodox preterists use Windows, and that a belligerent hyperpreterist or two uses a Mac!
