    Episode 109 - The Next Generation Remembers …With Guest Host Lou Feldstein


    In this episode, our guest host Lou Feldstein reminds us of his favorite episode of ST:TNG titled “The Inner Light” in which Captain Picard finds himself settled on a strange planet with a name and life unknown to him. He shows us, over the span of decades, that it’s not always about the life that you lead, but that sometimes it’s important to reflect on the lives that are lived by others. Oh, and RDY thinks Lou has the exact perfect voice for himself.

    Episode 108 - Yesh, And!


    In this episode, RDY helps us explore the world of Jewish folktales and the surprisingly familiar rules that have guided storytellers for generations. With unique characters and surprising stories, we learn that listening to each other and embracing the unexpected is what makes the stories so great! After all, every good story starts when someone accepts the premise and asks, “what happens next?”

    Episode 107 - 4th Anniversary Special - Welcome to Chelm


    A brand-new group of adventurers come across a strange village in the middle of the woods: the land of Chelm. The town is facing a terrible problem: a dangerous monster is stealing townsfolk and scaring away the stars.


    Can our heroes solve Chelm’s many urgent problems before the sun sets and the monster returns once more? Can they place all the cakes on top of the bakery roof? Can they find the proper hats for all the lamp posts? Have you ever heard such ridiculous questions asked? You can expect even more ridiculousness, because in this town and this podcast, everything makes sense.
