Thanks to the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia for hosting the festival and having us out! (Some wonky audio, apologies.) Enjoy the episode and our innocent intellectual exercise. 🙂

King David vs. the Beatles, how-is-this-our-first-Blues-Brothers-reference, and some surprisingly righteous possession. And hey Philly! We’re doing a live taping at the Jewish New Media Fest on Sunday, December 8, 2019, and it just won’t be the same without your gorgeous faces. See you there!

Three queens. An unlikely (fallen) hero. And demonic stowaways, maybe? Note from Alan & Miriam: We had some funky sound issues in this episode. Our apologies. We did our best and will have whatever audio demon wonked up the system outta there by next episode. That aside, it was a super fun episode to record and we think you’ll dig it and hope you stick it out.

Who’s (really) the boss? A sheydah on the catwalk. And if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it, but if it’s a demon...

The royal pedicure goes awry. Even demons get due process. And human/sheyd genetics... require further study.

HaShem sees what’s in stock at Foot Locker. The most badass postpartum ritual ever. And Miriam and Alan pretend to know what an “eldritch entity” is.

Quick-change sheydim in fur coats. Sabbatean demons? And what to believe before breakfast.

Ruth is not Lilith. Lilith is not who you think. And getting to that inner ‘aha.’

A listener question leads Miriam & Alan to a story that could be the next big YA franchise...

Demon-boy gives a city the run-around. The market value on this house must have plummeted... And, spoilers, sheydim probably don’t work in publishing.

Are sheydim like chickens, or penguins...? So. Many. Numbers. And the public art we need right now.

Matzah and passive-aggressive demon punks. A night free of “liturgical padding.” And Joe the Demon is a super smooth talker who should really get his own Netflix miniseries.

A name game and a “beauty contest.” Solomon’s punk rock past. And marriage advice from the Zohar.

Maybe you do not want this thing you think you want. Sheydim at Comic-Con. And the precedent for rationalist rationalizations.

Plant demons, ruining it for the rest of us. All about awe. And the widest-ranging #doesitdemon of all time.

Foundational demons. A Disney moment. Alan and Miriam weigh in on the sheyd/golem showdown (Miriam is not pleased).
Mar 04, 2019•24 min
Angelic fashion statements. A demon shiva house. And, autocorrect: #doesitdemon?

Slimy little demon (metaphorically speaking). Weight Watchers for sheydim. And a special action item.

Swords of destiny. Alternatives to CrossFit. And yes, actually, Superman *could* see right through that vessel.
Jan 28, 2019•28 min
The rider and the snake (seriously, Indiana Jones would *really* hate this episode). Alan insists on making everyone uncomfortable. And a super useful leadership lesson from Pharoah.

The fool and the heretic. Who’s on top? And a Kenny Rogers action item.
Dec 31, 2018•33 min
Big Lilith, little Lilith. Miriam gets her mind blown by a Wildean cautionary tale. And Christmas: does it demon?
Dec 26, 2018•30 min
Rabbi Azulai and the demonic origins: greatest hits and new tunes. What we really think of Eve. And you’ll never look at Friday night services the same way again.

The biblical gunsmith. “A rabbi never exaggerates.” And how genealogy is really a Super Bowl commercial.

Molasses cats. After the Tower, the untold story. Which witch? And seeking understanding when the worst things happen.

Holy day demon goats. The real market for Lilith lockets. And finding strength in turbulent times.
