Feb 25, 2010	A Repeat Visit To The Orthodox Urgent Care Hospital Suffering from a case of Lenten white boy funk, Fr Joseph revisits the Orthodox Urgent Care Hospital. (He also promises next week's podcast will be on The Tonight Show!) Click to play	12:27
Feb 16, 2010	The Fast Is Always Greener On The Other Side Of The Firmament First it was "live podding", then the dread, the guilt and the heavens were separated from the earth (which, naturally, led to a parody of the theme song from "Green Acres"). Clean Monday blows through quickly; pigs don't fly, but kites do (and don't miss Fr. Joseph's fun outtakes at the very end). Click to play	17:40
Feb 02, 2010	We Came, We Saw, We Converted In this special edition of Orthodixie, John Maddex interviews Fr. Joseph about his new Conciliar Press book, We Came, We Saw, We Converted. Click to play	21:35

Jan 08, 2010	Bar Hopping With Jesus Fr. Joseph reads a creative letter from the Orthodixie Mailbag. It's not what it seems. Or, is it? Click to play	13:37
Dec 29, 2009	Five Loaves, Two Fish, Small Fries And A Large Diet Fr. Joseph looks back on 2009 episodes of the Orthodixie podcast (and can't believe he didn't get fired) and looks forward to more jabs at American Orthodoxy in 2010. Click to play	19:37

Dec 17, 2009	Soteriology, Heychasm And Huneycutt In Beaumont The words: soteriology, hesychasm, and vlachos were spoken recently in Beaumont, Texas -- not to mention so-dzo, so-dzentai, huneycutt, and so-dzenestitai. (Most holy Theotokos save us!)	30:32
Dec 09, 2009	We Came, We Saw, We Converted A blatantly commercial message for Fr. Joseph Huneycutt's new book, "We Came, We Saw, We Converted" (Conciliar Press). It's a humorous look at a book that takes a humorous look at Orthodoxy. But what else would you expect from the Orthodixie?	02:40
Dec 03, 2009	‘Twas The Night Of Nativity Just a few more weeks until the Nativity feast. With the fast, the shopping, the preparations ... how are you doing? Let us prepare? Yes. But regardless of how prepared we are, let us be thankful.	08:24

Nov 17, 2009	Thanksgiving: The 8th Ecumenical Campfire A Roman Catholic Priest, two Orthodox clergymen, a Baptist boy and an Episcopalian gal, along with a Greek layman -- unexpectedly -- share a Thanksgiving campfire. What do you think happens?	14:17
Nov 07, 2009	Catechizing From The Barber’s Chair In Beaumont It's not often that one gets scalped by a Christian, rarer still is when a priest willingly airs his failures (of "Biblical proportion"). Protestants may cheer this episode as much as the Orthodox, but with both sides on differing sides. This episode of the Orthodixie podcast eavesdrops on some arguments concerning Scripture and Tradition at St Michael's in Beaumont, Texas.	26:05
Oct 31, 2009	Opinion: Is The Pope Anglican? The recent announcement by Pope Benedict of the formation of "a special provision for Anglicans, including married clergy" to come home to Rome got Fr Joseph wondering about his own journey and what he, and they, believe. He agrees with the pope!	18:19
Oct 23, 2009	Bishops And Old Shoes When is a bishop like an old shoe? A comfortable shoe? A GPS? Alas, there may come a time when you have to check with Johnston and Murphy on such things.	12:51
Oct 15, 2009	Jesus Loves You (But) Actions speak louder than words. Some words acquire different meanings depending on context. And love, well, love changes everything. But ...	12:06
Oct 07, 2009	Janitor, Banjo, Sideburns, A Nun: Opa! What's a Christian look like? It's all Greek to me! In this episode, Fr Joseph gets schooled by an imagined janitor, a native Houstonian, and a real nun.	15:14

Joseph imagines what the desert dwelling Father might have said to disciples of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.	19:07
Sep 14, 2009	Ewnay Yearay At Bill’s Bible, Bait & Tackle Did you ever try to find something even remotely Orthodox in your local superstore, gift shop, or bible book store? Chances are, you'll find all manner of things purporting to be spiritual, religious, new-fangled and Christian -- though nary even a wall calendar reflecting the Ancient Faith. Besides, what should you do when you do find one?	14:45
Sep 07, 2009	When God Ain’t Good Enough What do you do when God ain't good enough? Now that's a softball question! In this week's episode, Fr. Joseph is still looking for that softball.	14:31
Aug 25, 2009	Spooky-Doxy At The Stop-n-Drop With the help of a prophecy of the fourth or fifth or fourteenth -- or fifteenth -- century, one thing's for certain: We are one day closer to the End of Time today than we were yesterday. But, in this 19th, oops, 20th, er, 21st century ... who's counting? In this episode Fr Joseph has a "come to Jesus meeting" with a modern day self-proclaimed "relevant prophet" in the hills of East Tennessee.	20:35
Aug 15, 2009	King, Queen, Prince - And A Rebel - At Jiffy Lube Whether it was the invite to his 30-year high school reunion, or the fantasy that he was losing his hearing, one thing's for certain: Nothing clears Disco like an oil change.

Jul 31, 2009	American Orthodoxy: More Fun Than A Barrel Of Bishops Father Joseph talks about possible titles for his forthcoming book: a humorous look at Orthodoxy in America. NOTE: For those keeping score, during the course of this podcast the following words will be mentioned: sycophant, bishops, titles, convivial, cult and Antiochian.	14:47
Jul 21, 2009	Developing A Rule Of Prayer What does it mean to have a discipline of prayer? In this encore presentation, Fr. Joseph helps us understand and introduces a helpful resource: Visit the St Philip's Prayer Discipline website at: www.stphilipsprayerdiscipline.org.	12:46
Jul 14, 2009	He Built This City, But He Didn’t Write The Song In this encore presentation, Fr. Joseph takes a trip in the time machine and travels back to the 4th Century (with a brief musical stop in the 1970s).	16:04
Jul 06, 2009	Belittled Bum Begs For A Good Word Fr. Joseph, or someone who looked a lot like him, ruins his morning by saying "Good Morning" to a beggar. (Or was it the other way around?)	11:54
Jun 25, 2009	American Converts In Syria Fr. Joseph interviews Fr. Matthew MacKay and Fr.

Jun 20, 2009	Hot Rockin’, Flame Throwin’, But Old Timey Fr. Joseph sets out on a new path, complete with a new call-in Radio Talk Show.

May 30, 2009	Just An Old Fashioned Love Song Love is in the air ... goin' to the chapel and we're gonna ... take out the papers and the trash ... you may kiss the ... love stinks!? The missing parts, and the glue that holds it all together, may be found in Fr. Joseph's ode to the big event of summer.	17:16

Mar 01, 2009	St. Ephraim’s Prayer With the advent of the Great Fast – Lent – Fr Joseph takes a serious look at a familiar prayer written by St Ephraim the Syrian in the 4th century.

Feb 20, 2009	I Did Not Sleep With That [Canaanite] Woman The night before a Sunday sermon can be fraught with fear and struggle for many a priest. But, of your charity, if you see me walking on water ... help me back into the boat!	15:17
Feb 07, 2009	The Great Awakening Orthodoxy is often called "America's Best Kept Secret," but what would it look like if it was embraced by all -- including "the world"? In this encore presentation, Fr. Joseph shows us.	10:43

Jan 08, 2009	Are You Ortholackadaisical? "These days, Orthodox Christianity is becoming known on the highways and byways, even in the hills and the hollers. But let's not get lazy. Let's not squander this opportunity." Fr. Joseph thinks everyone should have the opportunity to hear about -- even come home to -- the True Faith (and click here to visit the SmallTown Heroes he speaks about at their web site).	16:10
Dec 27, 2008	Meletius Metaxakis Makes A Maalox Moment Tackling the differences among the Gregorian, Julian, and Appalachian Calendars concerning the date of Christmas is nothing new -- and can be quite the tongue twister.	14:41
Dec 19, 2008	Baby Jesus By The Chimney In this encore presentation, Fr. Joseph sets out on a search for the Baby Jesus.	16:57
Dec 13, 2008	The Ghost Of Past Christmas Presents What do Charles Dickens, Buzz Lightyear, Vladimir Lossky, the Carolina Panthers, the Baltimore Colts, Angels, Shepherds, George Frideric Handel and Kawasaki all have in common? Surely to goodness nothing but this podcast! Fr Joseph is visited by another "ghost."	14:28
Dec 06, 2008	Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas ... Carol? Fr. Joseph joins Sir Paul McCartney, Alvin Chipmunk, José Feliciano and other Wailers in a journey down memory lane -- eschewing the worldly sounds of the season for some really bad (ghostly) percussion moments. Are you prepared?	14:35
Dec 01, 2008	Here Comes Santa! In this encore presentation, Fr. Joseph talks to us about Santa Claus and his sons-- and his own-- imagination.	10:30
Nov 22, 2008	Much Ado About Despota Nothing excites a priest quite like a Bishop's visit, and you just never know what a Bishop might say. For instance, how would you answer the question: "Will there be only Christians in heaven?"	14:44
Nov 15, 2008	A Tooth, A Truck And A (Paffhausen) What does a root canal, a story from Greek mythology and the OCA have in common?	13:58

Oct 05, 2008	Mr. B. Al Zeebop, Orthodox Christian Anarchist From rumors and whispering campaigns, to flattery and praise, the Church is able to weather any storm. However, the temptations may prove too much for the fair-weather (or even the foul-weather) faithful laity and clergy. In this episode, Fr. Joseph meets Mr. B. Al "Buba" Zeebop and his devilish operation.	18:32
Sep 28, 2008	Orthodoxy: Christianity, Just Harder Interviews and arguments, struggles and slogans, one thing's certain: Orthodoxy ain't easy -- and that's no small thing. Or, is it?	17:10
Sep 17, 2008	The Ike & Rita (“Turners”) Review This week's episode, not nearly as exciting as visuals of a major hurricane slamming a major city, is a personal reflection on former Houston guests: Gustav, Katrina, Ike and Rita.	19:25
Sep 06, 2008	The Handicapped Convert While "rugged individualism" may be a cultural trait, it sure won't save you; and although blindness is a serious handicap, Converts may insist on being in the driver's seat. Whether we want it or not, American Orthodox Converts need help.	14:35
Aug 30, 2008	The Xenia, Galina, Coinkydink We've all heard "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." Fr. Joseph finds that hard to believe. Then again, some things which are hard to explain serve as cures for our unbelief. Is that by coincidence?	16:33
Aug 23, 2008	Who’s in Your Icon Corner? Icon Corners can be like a family scrapbook -- and, God willing, vice versa. While moving the family prayer corner, Fr. Joseph remembers prayers answered through the intercessions of the Saints.	13:53

Aug 10, 2008	Expect a Miracle! From Oral Roberts to Black Oak Arkansas, strange things happen. Whoa! There goes Uncle Ernie runnin' 'round the church! Then, there's bread and wine. Oh, you'll just have to listen (no interpretation necessary).	14:49
Aug 02, 2008	An Empty Church Is A Peaceful Church Listen to this exclusive encore "interview" with the author of a book (wink, wink) on proper church etiquette.	11:16
Jul 26, 2008	Help! There’s An Iconostasis In My Living Room You know how strange dreams can be when you're not sleeping in your own bed? Well, this one ranks up there with the strangest. But, Fr. Joseph has a very practical application in this "Best Of" Orthodixie podcast.	11:29
Jul 19, 2008	Recalculating Our GPS Is there virtue in being lost? Not exactly. Then again, being found is only worthy when the Finder is the Hound that loves you. Fr. Joseph's sense of direction is a little different (i.e., nonexistent). Truth is, most of the time, he doesn't know where he is.	14:20
Jul 13, 2008	Gotta Go To Camp Now Fr. John Monto joins Fr. Joseph Huneycutt for a week at Camp St Raphael.

Jun 07, 2008	Ortho-Man And The Confusion of Tongues In this week's Ortho-Man sequel, Fr. Joseph can't understand the movie, gets knocked out, smells garlic, dreams of Popeye, quotes St Nicholai of Zica and ponders the mysterious identity of Psssst Man.	13:27
May 31, 2008	Ortho-Man! Due to some pretty sweet connections, Fr. Joseph is allowed a peek at the upcoming summer blockbuster, ORTHO-MAN! Is there a role for Acrivia Man? Economia Man?

May 24, 2008	The Ear Bird (The Angel Cried) Gets the Worm Fr. Joseph tells of his recent visit to a psychiatrist and his annual struggle with The Guess Who.	16:21
May 17, 2008	Joy Comes in the Mourning (Dove) Fr. Joseph recounts holding Easter colored chicks... holding a BB gun, his eye on a sparrow... and later, standing outside in the rain wearing a ball cap, oven mitts and holding a napkin-covered lacrosse stick, chanting, "Here birdie, birdie, birdie." Yes, this week's podcast is for the birds.	17:17
May 10, 2008	“He’s in a better place” ... than Dixie? Fr. Joseph tackles the subject of "place" -- where we come from and where we're headed. Your departed mom, your dad, sister, brother or spouse: they are on that mysterious journey. It’s only a better place if Love is there … let’s pray that includes all of us.	14:15
May 03, 2008	Do You Have What It Takes? Fr. Joseph encounters Bible floppers, hip-hoppers, and mountain toppers in his quest to discover ... What It Takes.	13:24
Apr 27, 2008	Past Fast Fr. Joseph reports on this year’s Lenten Superlative Awards Banquet at St. Kismet in Gethsemane Falls. Last year’s gala saw a total of 13 awards being presented to the best and worst participants in the Great Fast. This year's big celeb is, ahem, a no brainer!	10:13
Apr 19, 2008	Here Comes Peter Cottontail? So tell us, Father Joseph-- just how did the Resurrection of our Lord get mixed up with bunnies, chocolate and eggs?	17:12
Apr 12, 2008	A Funny Thing, Sex Fr. Joseph's way of saying, "Pardon me while I slip into something a little more... serious." 16:36	16:37
Apr 05, 2008	Happy ... EIEIO! Letters have been pouring into the Orthodixie headquarters over the past week, many of them dealing with what can only be said and not written. You’ve all no doubt heard it, it is pronounced ******** (or EIEIO). Fr Joseph tries to allay fears [of EIEIO] while assuring us that "this, too, shall pass." 13:57	13:58
Mar 29, 2008	What Kind Of Fool Are You? Fr Joseph quotes Chicago, Kevorkian, Ben Franklin, St Paul and Hallmark in making a case for April Fools. 16:58	16:59
Mar 22, 2008	The Healing of Yuck Much like the pains of labor endured by a mother bearing a child, sometimes our journey back to healing is a painful one. And yet, the joy that comes with the new birth is far greater -- inexplicably greater -- than that which our cold heart endured. In the meantime, we must begin where we are. (15:51)	15:51
Mar 15, 2008	Fasters Anonymous ala Gilligan’s Isle Fr Joseph, struggling toward humility in the first week of the Fast, tells of his first visit to Fasters Anonymous ... and their curious theme song. (14:42)	14:42
Mar 07, 2008	Two Miles ‘til Pascha Fr Joseph reveals one of his Lenten pet peeves: “Do the best you can.” Do the best you can? Now brothers and sisters, that’s a recipe for failure. Heck, sinner that I am, the best I can is what has got me to where I am! We don’t give an inexperienced bunch of players a ball – with no practice whatsoever – and say, “Okay, it’s game time. Do the best you can.” No. We practice and practice and practice. We fall down, get back up; struggle to do better.	14:59
Feb 29, 2008	Fasting Songs Ladies & Gentlemen, prepare yourself, it’s almost that time; time to cue your favorite theme song for the upcoming Lenten Fast! Perhaps the theme song from Star Wars? Or maybe we could sing a fasting song, during this election year, to the tune of "Hail to the Chief?" Then again, there’s always the Beverly Hillbillies ...	14:23
Feb 22, 2008	Reality: The First Step Toward Salvation This week, Fr Joseph gets real: "The thing about Confession is that it is natural. That is, it is Real. Almost everything else we do with our sin is false and unnatural. We punish ourselves, justify our actions, and hide. Yet, in Confession -- in opening ourselves to God the Light -- we expose the hypocrisy of our double life. In truth, we've been living a lie. Without Confession, Absolution, and Reconciliation we live a lie before God and Man as if it were Reality. In reality, no one is fooled -- not our neighbor, not ourselves. And, let's be real, certainly not God."	15:36
Feb 15, 2008	Without Love, It’s All Just Peas and Carrots Miss Jane gets a tongue lashing, Mr. Bodine speaks in tongues. Things go dark as Fr. Joseph interviews Dr. Indadark. In the end, lacking the main ingredient, it's all just peas and carrots. Suffice it to say: Love covers a multitude of podcasts.	12:35
Feb 09, 2008	Orthodoxy in Dixie This week’s Podcast is taken from the book, "One Flew Over the Onion Dome" – any similarities to your own parish, bishop or jurisdiction is purely intentional. Orthodoxy not available in all states. In your area, it may only be available in a foreign language – in which case, your mileage may vary …	15:27

Dec 15, 2007	‘Twas the Week Before Nativity Just a few more days until the Nativity feast. With the fast, the shopping, the preparations....how are you doin'? Let us prepare? Yes. But regardless of how prepared we are, let us be thankful.	08:15
