Episode 16: with Joanna Clay

A bruised pageantry. Join our host Phil and our friend Joanna as they dig deeper still into the grandest of grand chapters: that of the Grand Inquisitor. In this episode, you will hear voices within voices within voices, as Jo and Phil perform Ivan, Ivan's performance of the Grand Inquisitor, and Ivan's performance of the Grand Inquisitor's performance of Jesus. Jo surprises and delights us with a rendition that wavers between Joey Tribbiani from FRIENDS and a vaguely Italian schoolyard bully, and she also tells us an exciting tale of giving herself a black eye in order to win a pageant in elementary school, the veracity of which is unproven. Join us for an ever-entertaining continuation of this Russian epic. This is the Brothers Karamazov and Friends: not very grand, but very inquisitive.
