Submission draft of memoir completed
A revised draft of William Shunn's memoir The Accidental Terrorist: My Adventures as a Foot Soldier in the Mormon Army is at last complete and delivered to his agent for submission. The book chronicles his months as an LDS missionary in Canada, which culminated with his arrest, conviction, and deportation for an unfortunate incident involving a commercial passenger jet. An earlier draft of The Accidental Terrorist was serialized in Shunn's podcast, the relevant episodes of which are still available for downloading.

Pirate Radio #20: 19 Against Nature
Epidode #20 of "Pirate Radio with Perry Slaughter" is now available, in which, in homage to the greatest band of all time, Mr. Slaughter plays nothing like blues or Elvis, just somebody's Steely Dan cover songs. The girls don't seem to care what's on, as long as it plays till dawn!
