Marta Szabo & The Guru Looked Good – The MonkCast

Erik Guzman August 30th, 2010

Join me on the MonkCast as I talk with Marta Szabo, author of The Guru Looked Good

Ian Cron – The MonkCast

Erik Guzman August 19th, 2010

Join me on the MonkCast as I talk with Ian Cron (that's him in the pic to the right…the white one).

Ian is the author of Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim's Tale, a book on St. Francis of Assisi that Phyllis Tickle calls "…absolutely seductive…a feast for the soul as well as a great, churning, joyful romp for the spirit!"

Erik Guzman April 5th, 2010

Join me, The Spastic Mystic and The Comedy Ninja as we jump into the Internet Stream of Collective Consciousness on Thursday, April 8 at 10AM ET.

I'm fresh off of my 40-day liquid Lenten fast and I'm eager to share what I've learned while wandering in the desert. I think I've achieved enlightenment (although it may be all the post-Lent calories I've been consuming going straight to my head). We will also administer heavy doses of buffoonery!
