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!

With huge thanks to the amazing folks at the JCC of Metro Detroit, we humbly present our first live taping! A greatest hits show, of sorts, with some songs, laughs, games, obligatory bad puns, and, of course, lots of demons. Want to bring TS to your community? Hit us up: throwingsheyd613 at Gmail dot com.

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.

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.

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).
