Not sure if you're aware, but Dr. Price actually still does the "Bible Geek" podcast (http://robertmprice.mindvendor.com/biblegeek.php). I'm still addicted to it, while very much enjoying the Human Bible podcast as well due to its structure. HB would have been nice when I first started listening to BG because it took me a while to understand the various topics (form criticism, parousia, etc) that come up a lot. HB ends up being a great intro to all that.

If you're a fan of Dr. Price, there's also a listeners "fan" page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/thebiblegeeklisteners/) which is pretty active.

As far as I know, he is in fact respected as a scholar, even if some of his views are admittedly fringe. Nobody doubts (I assume) is knowledge of the Bible nor understanding of the intent. But I'm a huge fan of his, so perhaps I'm rather biased!
