An episode of the Monster Talk podcast features an interview with Joseph P. Laycock, author of Dangerous Games: What teh Moral Panic over Role-Playing Games Says about Play, Religion, and Imagined Worlds. I can't find a date on the episode, but the book was released in mid-February, so I assume it's fairly recent. It's an enjoyable discussion, despite the author getting several facts wrong (William Schnoebelen - not Eric, Rebecca Brown - not Browning, Pat Pulling died in 1997, not '92, there is at least one RPG - Fantasy Wargaming - that featured stats for the Christian God and biblical characters).
