Episode 18: with Lindsay Kerns

In which our throats are sore. Join our host Phil and our guest Lindsay as they read several pages in the same throat-scratchy old man voice. To make matters worse, Lindsay suffers from a debilitating cold while reading. She perseveres, and so should you. Suffer with us, listeners, as we listen to the “very brief” ramblings of an old man on his deathbed. We learn, among other things, that Father Zosima was not always an old man, that he once participated in a duel, and that he has a clever plan for converting the world with exactly one hour of Bible reading every week. Lindsay shares an interesting reading of the name “Father Paissy,” and we learn about a saint who once converted a bear with a loaf of bread. It’s the Brothers Karamazov and Friends, where knowledge isn't power.
