I loved The Door, and was thrilled to be in it. I answered Becky&#8217;s questions with all the Door-ish goofiness and satire and humor as I could muster up. But my interview kept getting pushed back and back and back until <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jasonboyett.com\/2008\/07\/wittenburg-door.html\">The Door eventually went into hibernation<\/a> and Becky no longer had a place to put the interview.<\/p>\n<p>She finally found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theooze.com\/articles\/article.cfm?id=2118\">a home for it at The Ooze<\/a>. You can read it here, as long as you keep in mind the following:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">1. <\/span>This interview is from two years ago, which makes some of the cultural references a bit out of date.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">2.<\/span> I tailored my answers to the vibe and tone of The Wittenburg Door, which is snarky and light-hearted and satirical. Which makes them feel a little flippant in a &#8220;regular&#8221; publication.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">3. <\/span>Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no introduction to the interview to explain the context. So I read it, two years removed from the interview and not in the right magazine, and kinda thought I sounded like a turd.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">4. <\/span>You may feel the same way. If so, I&#8217;ll own up to it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theooze.com\/articles\/article.cfm?id=2118\">The Ooze: Interview with Jason Boyett<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2006, Becky Garrison interviewed me for The Wittenburg Door, about my new (back then) book Pocket Guide to the Bible.
