Join us in "The Hall of the Monkey King"!
The trailer for Cosmic Library's season 4—on JOURNEY TO THE WEST—is here.
This season, that classic and extremely funny Chinese novel prompts conversations about cinema, about comedy, about Buddhism, about transcendence.
This season in The Cosmic Library, one of the guests won a Pulitzer. And if there's a prize for podcast guest--maybe?--they should all win it.
Hear the finale of our Hebrew Bible season w/ @egabbert, @LFeldmanBarrett, Peter Cole, and Joshua Cohen.

Novelist Joshua Cohen—and Talmud—on tomorrow's show, the concluding episode of our Hebrew Bible miniseries:
"It doesn't matter what God's opinion is. Once God gave us this book, it was ours to do with as we will."
On this week's show about the endless struggle between familiarity and (often disastrous) novelty, you'll hear the novelist Joshua Cohen explain a kind of interpretation that works with connections and contradictions alike:

On this week's show, we're thinking about familiarity's continuity with unfamiliarity, daily life's coexistence with disaster, and a struggle between what we know and what we guess. Guests include: @LFeldmanBarrett.

Re: Pulp Fiction and the Hebrew Bible:
Tarantino's and @SamuelLJackson's Ezekiel 25:17 is famously--for the most part--not from the Book of Ezekiel. It parallels this text from Sonny Chiba's THE BODYGUARD:
