The Final Wag

from Paul Giamatti’s CHINWAG with Stephen Asma · host Treefort Media & Touchy Feely Films

🌋🏹🐷 This is it. The wag of all wags. The waggiest wag to ever wag. The final wag. But this one’s for you, Waggers—so we’re diving into the WagBag one last time. Schrödinger’s cat, Pompeii, volcanoes—oh my! We’re tackling everything from gulags to the greatest literary whodunit of all time: Did Shakespeare actually write his own plays? (Or was it, like, some guy named Francis?) And because no farewell would be complete without a little chaos, Paul and Stephen are getting their Nick Cage on—yes, it’s finally time to steal the Voynich Manuscript. Oh, and after this episode? You’ll never hear the word piggyback the same way again. Paul Giamatti is a Golden Globe award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art.  🌋🏹🐷 ========= WANT MORE STEPHEN?
