What's the Big Show worth to you?

So . . . what is the Big Show worth to you?

Is it worth telling people about Revolution 21?

Is the podcast worth creating a little word-of-mouth action?

Is not being hit up for money worth helping your Mighty Favog advertise the Revolution 21 empire for free (that's where the word-of-mouth comes in) -- in both its podcast and blog domains?

HERE'S THE DEAL, most explicitly. Revolution 21 is an experiment in how to live a faithful Christian life while also living out one's vocation as a media type. It's not bait-and-switch evangelization -- though it would be most excellent if we accidentally said or did or played something that causes you to consider Christ and His Church.

No, Revolution 21 is both bigger and smaller than that. It's about being faithful while being relevant. It's about being intelligent while being Catholic. It's about reclaiming the Church's (in its broad sense) place at the cultural table, a place we as Christians (and particularly Catholics) forfeited because we went all metaphysically Gnostic, in that we thought we could seperate our faith from how we live.

From how we work.

From how we interact with the world.

From how we commit culture.

Cultural pursuits became merely utilitarian . . . that is, trying to bait-and-switch you onto Our Team.

Revolution 21 is not about that. Faith is more important than a cosmic contest. Revolution 21 is about being faithful. About being authentically human. About having one foot in Heaven and one foot in the muck of humanity.

Revolution 21 is here as, hopefully, something intelligent yet accessible that can be a refuge for Christians and a friendly place to hang out even if you're not.

LIKE I SAID, it's an experiment. Maybe no one wants such a thing. Maybe it's before its time -- or has come too late. One way or the other, I need to find out.

Do you think this place on the Internet has some value? Let people know if you do. Let ME know if you do. I know I'm being kind of "out there," and, frankly, it's kind of lonely out here . . . Out There.

Obviously, I think what we're doing here has some merit. I think the show's pretty decent, and that your Mighty Favog isn't totally offputting as a host.

Than again, I could be horribly wrong. Lots of people are horribly wrong about things they're passionate about and committed to. It's a sad thing, but it happens.

But I gotta know. Revolution 21 is going to start to grow, or it's going to go away because no one can tilt at windmills forever. Time is fleeting, and life is short.

So, what do you think?

At least I didn't hit you up for any cash, right?

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT . . . the new episode of The Big Show is a dang fine one, if I do say so myself. But like I said, I could be wrong about these things.

But I don't think so.

Anyway, judge for yourself. You can download it here, or just go to the player at the top of this page.
