Pity poor Bros. Greg Stewart and Dean Kennedy of Masonic Central. After having some excellent guests for their first three podcasts, they found that everybody good was going to be away for the holiday weekend. Faced with either suspending a growing format, or roping in the only guy too stupid to take a vacation, they chose to fill in the available time.
In the past I've been one of the guys asking the questions on a podcast interview. On Sunday evening, July 6 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time, I get to sit in the hot seat.
We've got no agenda and an hour to kill. Those poor, poor guys. . .
More info at Masonic Central.
And don't forget to go back and listen to the previous TalkShoe podcasts.

Woo Hoo! More violent agreements!
Listened to you on Masonic Central.
Tao pronounced with a D not a T. So it's Dao.
Peace.
From Wiki:
"The argument between the proponents of Dao and Tao hinges on not which of the two is correct, but which of the two spellings read out loud will better approximate the original Chinese."
It's my own affectation to spell it with the classically used "T."
Dhe irony is dhad a "One Drue Daoisd®" probably would be less concerned about dhe ledder, and more concerned widh dhe acdual pracdice.
Bud dhanks for poinding dhad oud.
Tom, I enjoyed the show last night. Not bad for an ol' Connecticut Yankee!
Heh, I like dhad!
Believe me I am less concerned about the letter.
However, every time I hear someone say Tao with a "T" it sounds like an American trying to read from a menu at a Thai/Japanese/Chinese/Indian restaurant...
You are right however that either way is legit.
Great Blog! I read it all the time.
I was first introduced to this gripping controversy while visiting China in 1993. I was tossed into a complete multi-cultural fret when I discovered that Tsingtao beer was brewed in a German-built brewery in Qingdao, and that the official spelling in its public stock offering is Xingdao.
Worlds turn on such controversy.
