Raven Radio

Yeah, we did it folks. We opened the can o’ worms. Join us as we talk about the things that just royally tick us off about modern heathenry and Asatru. Later we talk about how we think some of these things can be fixed. Short answer: read good books. Long answer: read lots of good books. Then reread them.

Welcome back, kiddies! It’s been almost three years since our last podcast, and a lot has changed in some ways. On this new episode, Dan, Chuck, Bil, and Bob reminisce on where we came from, and speculate on where heathenry is going both locally and worldwide. We are then joined by AFA founder Steve McNallen who entertains questions from the peanut gallery.

Mark the date on your calendars, Raven Radio comes back on the air. After 2 years the gang has decided to torment the ears of Midgard and start kicking over rocks and logs and find new episodes.

On November 18th, 2009 in a bright and cold fall morning we went on the air on SRN. Cody and Bob did Ectoradio for years prior. Bil and I were the newcomers to radio. And we had a bunch of beer. But we were exploring new uncharted territory. We built on the original Odin Lives! show and Dave and Sandy Carron fantastic podcasts. We took it a step further and did the damn thing live and totally unscripted. That continued til November 9th 2013, and it was snowing, when we closed it down.
For something that started during Sumble along the lines of hey Letssss do a radio show. Yeah A LIVE radio show. You know we’ll have HICUP guests and musciks and shtuff….. And ALCOHOL Fueled in your face HEATHEN TALK!

Well a another sumble was upon us, it came up and the spark kindled the flame. I’ve thought of changing how we did things, clean things up and over all make it a better package.

Oh Hell NO!! Raven Radio is spontaneous., Unscripted. An easily derailed train with a bunch of lunatics trying to fly a 747! Its FUN!

And we’re coming back. January 10th 2016 Gods willing and the……….hell we’ll be there. YOU all be there to! We’ll be back on our original home SRN.

This week we talk about the New Mexico Heathen Council’s forays to Pagan Pride Day. And how after years of workshops out reach and just plain being nice a goodly portion of Wiccans do not understand nor even try to understand us. From comments like, “We are as structured as the Catholics” to “You try to bring back the dead instead of building fresh and embracing the others. You know that your Odin is just another face of the God. You’re as bad as Republicans” Daniel Flores, joins us as a new host for the show, bringing in a Texan Theodish point of view to the show. And since we have a new co host Skype and XAT decides to fall under the “Galina Curse”
