Wayward Children: Jewish Monsters, Magic, and the Stories We Tell
Jack Zaientz & John Baltisberger
Fréquence : 1 épisode/25j. Total Éps: 30
According to Jewish tradition, the world around us is filled with demons, ghosts, giants and angels, and creatures of all types. But Judaism today tends to downplay and rationalize them away, to the point where they’re just forgotten dusty metaphors. But for millenia, Jews have lived with these creatures and have had practical means for coping with them.
Join Jack Zaientz a scholar of all things Jewish folklore and mythology and John Baltisberger, the award-winning author of Jewish horror and fantasy as they explore the topics of mythic Judaism and discuss it's survival and use in modern day culture both pop and otherwise.

The Giant Wars and Warring Giants
lundi 16 septembre 2024 • Durée 01:16:29
John and Jack delve into one of their favorite topics, THE GIANT WARS. This is an insane topic as it's rife throughout both the Tanakh and the Talmud. There is ample liturgical evidence of giants and the Jewish people fighting them. So let's delve into our biggest fans, be the Nephilim, Raphaim, or just Yao Ming. (To our knowledge, Yao Ming is not a being made of fire, nor is he a listener, but we could be wrong!)

Let's Talk About the Future That We See
mardi 23 janvier 2024 • Durée 01:03:47
In case you didn't guess from the convoluted title, this week we are talking about divination practices. (You really should have seen that coming.) What is it about knowing the future that gets us all hot and bothered? Why are there so many methods of divination when divination is ruled as an abomination in Dueteronomy?
The only way to know for sure is to dive in with John and Jack!

Biblically Not-So-Accurate Angels
mercredi 3 janvier 2024 • Durée 01:03:13
As much as we love when you stick a bunch of googly eyes to a kitten and say it's a biblically accurate cat (and we do love that), biblically accurate angels aren't all that... well biblically accurate. Jack and John discuss angels in folklore, writing, and liturgy.
