Episode 19: Secret. Or, how David Bowie is like a sheyd.

The secret-ish explanation of the Throwing Sheyd theme song. The return of Sheyd the sheyd. And Miriam is fine. Really.

Oct 17, 2018•30 min

Episode 18: Raiders in the lost ark.

Two by two, mostly. Speaking things into being. And how to become whole.

Oct 12, 2018•28 min

Episode 17: Never walk alone.

The deal with the danger of Tuesday and Friday nights. How the rabbis are like Captain America. And an unfortunately timely listener question.

Oct 05, 2018•29 min

Episode 16: Catch you next time (Again. Sorry!)

Alan talks for too long about the GRA. Definitely lost without Miriam here. May or may not actually have anything to do with sheydim - YOU decide! Happy Tabernacles, y’all :)

Episode 11: The Shofar/Excommunication/Sheyd Venn Diagram

Alan doesn’t want to talk about shofar (but does anyway). Demons, get out the way. And a closing bracha for our awesome listeners.

Episode 10: Shalom, Sheyd.

Be careful who you greet. And that fingernail thing at havdalah - does it demon?

Aug 16, 2018•24 min

Episode 9: Number 9... Number 9...

Name yourself after your book. Why tefillin are basically knights’ shields. And the first of what’s surely many Beatles references to come.

Aug 09, 2018•25 min

Episode 8: Angels vs. Demons vs. Humans, pt. 2

How demons are like humans (and not just your evil exes). Alan hates that answer. And does Havdalah demon?

Aug 02, 2018•24 min•Season 1Ep. 8

Episode 7: Angels vs. Demons vs. Humans, Part 1

Demons are still not chickens (and vice versa). A biblical “blessing.” And - angel, demon, or human - access is everything.

Pet demons help out around the house. Hang on to your jewelry. Never trust anyone wearing socks.

What’s in a name. Useful demons. And this show is not brought to you by Ziprecruiter.

Baby demon bris (mazal tov). Respect to the king of the nerds. And a why you should never leave your drink unattended.

Demons and mitzvahs. Smoke and blood. And what’s up with my mezuzah?
