Throwing Sheyd

Better living through Jewish demonology.

Episode 48: Live at the Jewish New Media Festival!

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. 🙂

Episode 47: DEMONIC POSSESSION

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!

Devils, giants, and other sports team names abound as Alan and Miriam dive into parshat Chayyei Sarah with friend and fellow nerdy Jewish podcast host, Aaron Roller of The Portion!

Episode 44: Sheydim in yeshivah.

Ashmodai’s dual curriculum. The rabbi of the break-away minyan. Demon weddings. And an upcoming live show!

Episode 43: Time. Travel. Term limits.

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.

Episode 42: The King of the Demons

Who’s (really) the boss? A sheydah on the catwalk. And if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it, but if it’s a demon...

Episode 41: Solomonic demonic, baby.

The royal pedicure goes awry. Even demons get due process. And human/sheyd genetics... require further study.

Episode 40: Chicken feet!

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.

Episode 39: Sightseeing in Amsterdam

Quick-change sheydim in fur coats. Sabbatean demons? And what to believe before breakfast.

Episode 38: The Shavuot special!

Ruth is not Lilith. Lilith is not who you think. And getting to that inner ‘aha.’

Episode 37: Puberty in Galicia.

A listener question leads Miriam & Alan to a story that could be the next big YA franchise...

50:31

Episode 36: Lilith’s son goes off the walls.

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.

Episode 35: đŸŽ”Fly like a demon...

Are sheydim like chickens, or penguins...? So. Many. Numbers. And the public art we need right now.

Episode 34: The Passover special!

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.

22:12

Episode 32: The Purim special! (rerelease)

A name game and a “beauty contest.” Solomon’s punk rock past. And marriage advice from the Zohar.

25:08

Episode 33: Biblical monopoly busting.

Maybe you do not want this thing you think you want. Sheydim at Comic-Con. And the precedent for rationalist rationalizations.

Episode 32: The Purim special!

A name game and a “beauty contest.” Solomon’s punk rock past. And marriage advice from the Zohar.

Episode 31: Kingdom, phylum, class, demon.

Plant demons, ruining it for the rest of us. All about awe. And the widest-ranging #doesitdemon of all time.

Episode 30: Fire demons, earth golems.

Foundational demons. A Disney moment. Alan and Miriam weigh in on the sheyd/golem showdown (Miriam is not pleased).

When Alan called us "gorgeous listeners" I immediately pictured Present Mic from My Hero Academia and I can't stop laughing
