The Scathing Atheist 
I have to comment on the letter from Paul (a different Paul than me apparantly) you received and discussed on the show.
Frankly, I just don’t buy his assertion that there exists this sizable segment (or segment at all) of listeners whom would enjoy the type of humor on this show but are turned off due to their discomfort hearing the word fuck so often. I would be amazed, in fact, if even a single such person exists (other than perhaps Paul himself).
While there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable with “curse” words like fuck, so much so that they cannot continue listening to the show (a quick glance at the show’s 1-star itunes reviews will confirm this), I just doubt seriously that ANY of them would have otherwise found the plethora of erudite dick puns, righteous verbal irony bombs, and omni-targeted racial jokes to be to their liking–I mean wtf kind of internally conflicted fucks would feel that way?
Sorry Paul, I just don’t buy the premise. I have a feeling that the fucktards who complain about “fuck” usage in their 1-star itunes reviews (present company excluded) would have just turned the show off 1-2 minutes later either way.
There’s nothing to fear, Paul, these men are cowards. They are simply upset that they downloaded a show that wasn’t the kind of show they wanted to download, and they want someone to know how angry they are. The ubiquity of the word fuck is just the first thing that leaps to their angry little brains.
One other thing, a while back I really tried to leave a good review for you guys on snitcher, but ultimately concluded cooter simply didn’t have a review function/capacity for individual podcasts instead of individual episodes. I know u said it was too complicated to explain step – by-step how to do it, but could you at least tell me the general mechanism through which one can do it?
What I mean to say is, iis it only possible through using the snatcher desktop app? Or maybe can you only do it through the tweeker http website? Or is it an android vs ios thing where one allows u to do it and the other doesn’t?
