"Underworld Amusements Variety Hour"
~ Host Reverend Kevin I. Slaughter ~
~ For the week of January 25, 2010 ~
Matador, of course, meaning killer.
Steve Sailer, blogger and author of “America’s Half-Blood Prince” sat down with host Kevin I. Slaughter for a discussion about the president and other concerns. From bullfighting to Modern English, the conversation covered a number of topics outside of Human Biodiversity, sometimes shortened to HBD, but we covered that as well. The sound of the interview is a little wonky. It was recorded on location and I tried to clean it up but it’s not up to the level I’d like. I do have a better method of location interview recordings though, so the next one should sound better, assuming I get to use that method…
Before that are a few items of interest, two very short excerpts from two books – one being Pentti Linkola’s Can Life Prevail? – A Radical Approach to the Environmental Crisis“, from the folks at corrupt.org. After the interview I read a selection from Robert G. Ingersoll that I recorded for infidels.org. I’ve volunteered to record a few written pieces by Ingersoll for their archives after hearing David Driscoll from American Freethought mention it on his podcast. This is the one of three that I’ve recorded so far, and it’s about 7 minutes long. The title is “Should Infidels Send Their Children to Sunday School?” and it was written in the latter half of the 1800’s. I guess the recording will be available in the “library” section of the site, but I’m not sure when.
Got a problem with something I’ve said on the podcast? Got an angle not discussed?
Call (218) 666-UAVH and leave a voice mail. Since my shows are once a month give or take, I’d like to have a “call in” show where I compile listener responses and my added commentary in the in-between. Keep it under 3 minutes and think about what you’re going to say before you call. Identify yourself, your blog, or keep it anonymous. If I get enough calls, I’ll do a special show, if I get one or two, I’ll slip them into the regular show. If your call lacks substance and seems like you were more interested in plugging your website than commenting, it won’t be aired. You can comment on the most recent or even a previous episode.
The interview for this podcast were completed in October of 2009, final recording and mixing were completed Wednesday, January 20th, 2010.

John Derbyshire, author of the new book We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism, sat down for a discussion of atheism and conservatism, math cranks and more in our first proper episode. Your host Kevin I. Slaughter discusses the post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy and touches on the myth of the noble savage by way of a quote from an author stolen from an interview on the Skepticality Podcast and by lifting a passage from Pinker's The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature.
John Derbyshire has previously released the novels Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream: A Novel (1997), a New York Times “Notable Book of the Year”, Fire From the Sun (2000) a storyline written in an astounding 76 chapers in 3 volumes. His non-fiction books Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics (2003), Unknown Quantity: A Real and Imaginary History of Algebra (2006) and now We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism (2009).
In addition to the books, he has over three and a half decades of journalism and reportage under his proverbial belt. A selection of the magazines and newspapers he's written for: Nat. Review, NYT, Boston Globe, Weekly Standard, Mathematics Magazine, Wall Street Journal and many others. He's contributed to National Review Online, V-Dare.com and the New English Review websites.
The Underworld Amusements Variety Hour is a podcast covering an eclectic mix of subjects, guided by the interests of its host. This is the first episode proper, but so far there have already been multiple special episodes, short format extras and pdf files of free materials. Underworld Amusements is a small media company focusing on publishing books of forgotten and marginalized works, our podcast and other products and even events.
I've started posting excerpts of interviews on YouTube under a dedicated account in 720p high definition... of course, they're audio interviews with still images, so it's easy to get that High Def quality.
