William Baker, Historical Revisionist


A strange, combative interview with a fellow who is "an expert in Christian apologetics" and the author of the book pictured above. He has some strange ideas about Jews, Zionism, and the Israeli question in the Middle East. It's our faithful friend Carolyn who pegs Mr. Baker, the guest, as a historical revisionist. Another faithful friend, Tom from Lutz, calls in to exploit a passing mention of Martin Luther King.

Bob Lassiter vs. Rabbi Jan Bresky, Round II

This is Bob's second on-air debate with his friend and protege, Rabbi Jan Bresky, this time on Bresky's Sunday evening WPLP show "It's Your Faith." It's a contentious, quite bruising debate over whether there's such a thing as a "personal relationship with God." (NOTE: We do not have the first Lassiter vs. Bresky debate. If you have a tape, please e-mail us!)

James F. Cumber Jr.

At the start of the show Bob tells us that he finds Mr. Cumber's book "very interesting," which you always know means it's going to be wackadoo. Indeed, his book is a discussion of Cold War strategic solutions and the Biblical frame of reference for them. It won't be a surprise to learn that googling Mr. Cumber's name today turns up commentary by him on birther sites.

Classic Calls with Dr. Lois Mueller

The first hour of this show is open phones, and we hear a bit of that. The rest features Dr. Lois Mueller, a Tampa psychologist who formerly hosted a show on WPLP, as Bob plays her classic calls to his show and invites her to give impromptu psychoanalysis. Good stuff, and a chance to hear some favorites.

Col. Jack Burke



A discussion with Col. Jack Burke, a military expert, who has a long and fairly wonky discussion with Bob about military policy and strategy; weaponry, nuclear and otherwise; the arms industry; and various aspects of the Cold War. The program is then interrupted by President Reagan's Oval Office speech about Iran-Contra (not on the tape), after which Bob comes back to review the speech and take calls. It gets pretty heated.

Bible Debate

An epic discussion of the Bible with Bob holding court against two professors from Clearwater Christian College. It's not one of the more fiery religious debates Bob's so well known for, but a surprisingly scholarly and in-depth debate of Biblical text, history, geography, and interpretation. The most contentious moment comes not in their conversation, but a call from one of Bob's favorite callers, Tom from Lutz.
