Well, the madness actually happened. Shirley Phelps-Roper (from Westboro Baptist Church) was on Kenton and Johnny's Radio Show. (Though Kenton wasn't there and Johnny had to bear the brunt of the craziness).
I suggest you all take a listen. I've always known that people involved with WBC are more agitators than people who actually want to change things (or maybe they just haven't figured out how to change things effectively?) but didn't realize that Shirley would be as rude as she is. I realized that she would probably not answer questions asked of her, but didn't realize she would put words in the mouths of the hosts to the point where they were reduced to telling her "I love you." This was actually a fairly successful tactic, as it made Phelps-Roper act even crazier.
Very enjoyable. Kenton, I don't know how you got this interview, but keep up the good work.
Here's Kenton's blog (in case you didn't know about it already, though most people reading this will), 750 Volts.

I somehow completely overlooked your mention of the podcast when it first appeared. Only through random browsing did I just stumble onto it.
Anyway, thanks for listening! Interviewing Shirley was quite the experience.
Also, since you brought it up in your post, landing the interview was quite easy. I used their interview request contact form, and had a response back in under an hour.
It was at that point that I realized how desperate for attention they truly are. :-D
