Hitchens on Hugh Hewitt’s show Tuesday
For wrap up – full audio – extra comment from Mark Roberts, click here.
3 hours of Christopher Hitchens and Hugh Hewitt going head to head. Maybe that’s a tad overblown because I don’t think it’ll be the least bit antagonistic. Hugh Hewitt is one of the fairest interviewers on radio, he listens to people and lets them have their say. Hitchens is a regular guest on Hewitt’s show (as are Lileks, Steyn, and Yoni Tidi which are three more reasons to listen to it).
Hewitt for the uninitiated is a “God Blogger”, an author of a detailed bio on Mitt Romney, and a professor of constitutional law. He worked in the Reagan administration and built the Nixon presidential library. He’s right on the war, and wrong on God and the source of morality.
You can download Hewitt on iTunes, but you’ll need to register at Townhall.com . You can listen to the show streamed over the internet here. I’ll be putting up a downloadable .MP3 of the show on Wednesday. Until then, here is a sample of Hitchens on Hewitt’s show:

“The Great God Debate” is Tuesday, June 5. The entire show will be given over to a debate between Christopher Hitchens, author most recently of god Is Not Great, and Dr. Mark Roberts, theologian, professor, pastor, New Testament scholar and author of many books including the just published Can We Trust The Gospels?
Dean Barnett sits in for me as I travel tomorrow and prepare for the conversation. A show has 15 segments, and the first four of each hour will be given over to a proposition which I will put on the table and to which Hitchens and Roberts can respond and then cross comment or pose each other questions. If you would like to suggest one of the propositions –there will be twelve in all, as I will give the last segment of each hour which is short for brief statements by both participants– you can send it to me at hugh@hughhewitt.com.
