Michael, Ethan, and special guest Jacob discuss the short story “The Devil and Tom Walker,” by Washington Irving, while drinking Suntory Toki Japanese (gasp!) whisky.
In this episode:
A not-too-presumptuous new rule
The Devil belongs in America
American mythology creating arbitrary exclusions and inclusions… who would have thought?
Landscape as character
Making up theories out of whole cloth
Everyone should know that shortcuts will go badly for them
It’s a Wonderful Life as Reverse Faust
Con men, flim-flam artists, and bunko
Public Universal Friend’s wikipedia page is worth reading
“Charity begins at home” SOUNDS very pious
Lots and lots of playing Telephone, it’s fine
There’s nothing unique about the postmodernists
God’s Philosophers, by James Hannam

"The Kraken," by Alfred Lord Tennsyon, read by Michael G. Lilienthal
For the month of October, we’ll occasionally release some spooky stories and poems of classic literature, read by the hosts and friends. This episode:
The poem “The Kraken,” by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Drawing on imagery of the Leviathan from Scripture and other legends and mysteries, Tennyson draws a picture of the mythical Kraken which will sleep at the ocean floor until the world ends in fire.
