I've mentioned before that my friend Joe has a podcast that has earned him a bit of notoriety, especially in the Quaker world. For while I was a bit worried about Joe's rising celebrity among Quakers, because naturally I wondered about the effect his microcelebrity would have on me. What if I was with him and he was mobbed, could I be crushed by Quakermania?

Fortunately, Quakerism is only one of Joe's many facets. There's also his gay facet and his gothic facet and his Madonna facet. The Madonna aspect took over not long ago when Joe decided to move on from the whole Quaker identity thing and remake his podcast as a personal journal. And what could be more personal than sitting down with me for a little chit-chat?

It doesn't matter if you don't already listen to podcasts or if you don't have an iPod. You can just click the link on Joe's page and the .mp3 file will play right in your browser.
