Note from Josh: I was contacted a few weeks ago by a producer at a Catholic radio station in Miami who was looking for some engaging pro-life audio for her to play in between songs on the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. She wanted 3-minute vignettes, so Liz and I went to the studio and produced these special for the station. Consider this like a "Best of Life Report." We included some of the most common themes on the show, like finding common ground and exposing faulty pro-life arguments. If you're relatively new to the show, you will probably find these especially helpful. If you're one of our big fans, there's nothing really new here, but listen to them anyway to give you context for the bloopers file below!

For more on finding common ground, PLEASE buy a copy of Steve Wagner's book, "Common Ground Without Compromise." This book was helpful to us in preperation for recording some of the vignettes below.

These are the 3-minute vignettes we produced for Spirit FM 90.5.

• 1 - 15-Second Pro-Life Apologist
• 2 - When Does Life Begin
• 3 - Planned Parenthood is not Racist
• 4 - Faulty Pro-Life Argument - Tying the Fetus to its Functionality
• 5 - Faulty Pro-Life Argument - Tying the Fetus to its Potential Functionality
• 6 - Faulty Pro-Life Argument - Using Religious Arguments
• 7 - Faulty Pro-Life Argument - "Abortion is Bad for Women"
• 8 - Faulty Pro-Life Argument - "It's Not a Fetus"
• 9 - Finding Common Ground with the Other Side - "Should Abortion be used as Birth Control?"
• 10 - Finding Common Ground - "What do you Think About Late-Term Abortion?"
• 11 - Finding Common Ground - "What do you Think About Aborting a Fetus Simply Because She is Female?"
• 12 - Finding Common Ground - "Would You Prefer That There Were Fewer Abortions?"
• 13 - Finding Common Ground - "Is it Right for Boyfriends and Parents to Pressure Women to have Abortions?"
• 14 - Finding Common Ground - "Is it Wrong for Planned Parenthood to Protect Statutory Rapists?"
• 15 - Stem Cell Research 101
• 16 - Understanding the Other Side
• 17 - What Should Pro-Lifers do in Response to Abortion?

And here are the bloopers! This was more difficult than recording normal podcasts, because we had to stick to exactly 3-minutes, and record it "live-to-tape." I set it so that the outro music would play automatically. No editing. Everytime we screwed up, we had to start over, and we weren't using scripts or anything. So yeah, we had a lot of bloopers. Enjoy!
