Comic Book Couples Counseling PodcastSDCC 2023: Jamie Lee Curtis, Russell Goldman, and Karl Stevens on Mother NatureThe path Mother Nature took to its sequential form is beautifully compelling. When Jamie Lee Curtis was nineteen, an angry story of global catastrophe and corporate greed took root.

Her eventual friendship with New Yorker cartoonist (and former CBCC guest) Karl Stevens would ultimately yield the new graphic novel from Titan Comics.
Curtis never imagined herself as a comic creator, but here she is, and she couldn't have been more thrilled to attend the San Diego Comic-Con International as...

2018-05-2801 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 34: Rambam-paloozaThis week we finally take a deep dive into Daniel's favorite rabbi, the 12th c. Spanish philosopher Maimonides, also known as Rambam. Which means that we get super philosophical, talking about God and nature and the limits of human knowledge. Oh, and also about Moses and ch. 33 of Exodus. Plus one really terrible butt joke (because we only like to pretend that we're smart). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-05-171h 02Lost in the WildernessEpisode 33: The Golden Calf!At last, we have come to the much anticipated Ch. 32, when God sends Moses down the mountain to break up a wild party and, more importantly, stop the chosen people from worshipping idols. Hot stuff! And Daniel has provided four and a half pages of midrash to go with it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-05-1146 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 32: Waiting for the Next JewExodus 31 is great for artists and crafts people, and great for people who just need a day of rest! Karl and Daniel spend about thirty minutes talking about the first seventeen verses, and then thirty minutes talking about verse 18 alone! That's one great verse. Plus, Daniel tells the joke that gives our episode it's name. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-05-031h 02Lost in the WildernessEpisode 31: One Year in GehennaDaniel and Karl are joined by Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp as we delve into Ch. 30, learn that Gehenna isn't just a suburb of Columbus, reflect on giving and justice, and consider the ethics of counting people. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-04-2652 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 30: Incense-ify the Ram!Daniel and Karl go deep into the weeds of ordination rituals for the High Priest as they read Exodus 30. Along the way, they throw in some thoughts about Jerusalem Syndrome, the sad life of Schmuel the Ephod Cleaner, and the religious call to assist in the completion of creation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-04-1956 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 29: Priestly BlingDaniel and Karl are joined by Rabbi Daniel Vaisrub, and many things are revealed about Judaism that Karl never knew. Such as the apocalyptic hope that the third temple will descend from on high and that the ephod might just look like the costume of a French princess. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-04-1458 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 28: Horns as Handlebars and the Nature of SinCh. 27 of Exodus is all about the tabernacle (what a surprise, given that it's been the theme of the last few weeks). But Karl and Daniel find a way to talk about sin, and the way that both Judaism and Christianity are reinterpreting the concept of sin in terms of modernism. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-04-0453 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 27: The Ikea Manual from Mount SinaiDaniel and Karl are joined by members of Saint Andrew's, Evanston as they discuss Ch. 26, a chapter mostly composed of instructions for building the tabernacle. And yet somehow they manage to wander into discussions of unicorn creation myths and when to take a bathroom break in the middle of synagogue services. Who says that cubits can't be fun! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-03-2954 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 26: Almond Scented LightAcolytes and Altar Guild members, rejoice! We have now gotten to the part of Exodus that deals with liturgy, describing all of the wonderful implementa of the tabernacle with glittering adjectives (mostly because everything is gold plated). Daniel and Karl let their inner liturgists off the leash and get so metaphysical that it's almost psychedelic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-03-2358 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 25: Bring Cucumber Sandwiches to the Next Blood SacrificeOkay, it's a weird title, but we sure amused ourselves as we talked about Exodus 24, in which Moses and friends are somehow back at the foot of the mountain and about to go up it for the first time, even though Moses has been at the top of Mt. Sinai for the last four chapters. You can see why we got a little wacky. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-03-1749 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 24: Live at the CathedralDaniel and Karl record live in front of an audience at Christ Church Cathedral in Cincinnati. The audience was amazing in contributing to our chevruta Bible study of chapter 23. We took questions and heard from a variety of readers as we went. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-03-091h 11Lost in the WildernessEpisode 23: Power and Privilege Lead Us Into Responsibility, Not FreedomThere's a whole lotta law going on in Chapter 22 of Exodus, but it leads Daniel and Karl into discussions of King David and the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, the Babylonian Exile and, oh yeah, Exodus. Join us! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-02-281h 03Lost in the WildernessEpisode 22: Oxen, People with Duck Heads, and LawyersWe're still at Mt. Sinai (after all, we just got there) and the law is getting more and more exact and elaborate. This week it also becomes downright unpleasant, as we have to contemplate the fact that the Israelites are now enslaving each other, not to mention the sad fate of pre-teen girls in much of the ancient world. Plus, ox goring. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-02-211h 03Lost in the WildernessEpisode 21: The Ten CommandmentsWhat are all those courthouse monuments and bulletin boards on the highway all about, anyway? The Ten Commandments might form the basis of civil society in the west, or they might be a specific set of rules given to a specific group of people at a specific time, or they might be the Jews' great gift to the moral universe. Or, possibly, all three. And there are three hosts on this week's podcast, as Daniel and Karl are joined by the great Jane Gerdsen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-02-081h 03Lost in the WildernessEpisode 20: Daniel's Favorite MidrashimAll right, we've finally arrived at Mount Sinai! And it only took 19 chapters and 20 episodes. As Daniel says, all the most famous midrashim speak to this moment of Exodus. In our discussion, we touch on cultural appropriation, our legacy to future generations, and what exactly the Holy Spirit is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-02-021h 03Lost in the WildernessEpisode 19: Holy Bureaucracy, Jethro!Let's face it, Jethro must have been one of history's top five father-in-laws. In Ch. 18 of Exodus, he visits Moses and shows him how to set-up a bureaucracy. In our current context, this might seem like an odd thing to be admired for. But can bureaucracies be good, even holy? Karl and Daniel debate this contentious issue of our time. SHOW NOTE: THIS WAS UPLOADED INCORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. APOLOGIES! IT'S CORRECT NOW. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-01-251h 03Lost in the WildernessEpisode 18: Interior AmaleksAs they dive into ch. 17, Karl and Daniel talk about sin and evil, and the understanding of Amalek in Judaism. How should we think about and treat our enemies? How should we confront the evil in ourselves? The rabbinic tradition has managed to wring some weighty questions out of a relatively short chapter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-01-181h 03Lost in the WildernessEpisode 17: Dipping Dots and QuailDaniel and Karl ponder the culinary value of manna, read some excellent midrash, and talk about the Sabbath and ecology, all while dipping (pun intended) into Ch. 16 of Exodus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2018-01-1051 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 16: The One with SingingThis week Daniel and Karl are joined by Cantor Cheryl Wunch, calling in from Toronto to sing portions of Chapter 15 of Exodus, answer all of Karl's questions about cantors in general, and reflect on (of course) the nature of God and humanity.

2017-12-211h 04Lost in the WildernessEpisode 15: Job Makes a Cameo AppearanceThe Israelites have finally gotten to the Reed Sea, the Pillar of Fire and the Pillar of Cloud are introduced into the story, and (oddly) Job makes a cameo appearance in the midrash. What could be more fun than that? Join Daniel and Karl as they discuss Exodus Chapter 15. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2017-12-0958 minLost in the WildernessEpisode 12 - Intolerable ToleranceThis week Daniel and Karl are joined by the great Phyllis Spiegel as they delve into Exodus, Ch. 11. On the surface, Ch. 11 seems like a lot of throat-clearing for Ch. 12. But it does, in fact, allow us to ask the most profound questions about God and society. If you're interested in that kind of thing, this podcast is for you! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
2017-11-161h 05Lost in the WildernessEpisode 11: Zombie Pickled LocustsDaniel and Karl delve into Jewish mysticism (and a little Christian mysticism, too) as they discuss Exodus Ch. 10. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2017-10-1853 minLost in the WildernessLost in the Wilderness Episode 7: Moses and Aaron GoldsteinDaniel and Karl are joined by Maggie Leidheiser-Stoddard to discuss Exodus Chapter 6, a chapter full of quarreling with God, insecurity about leadership, and lots and lots of genealogy. We all ended up feeling sorry for Moses, and wondering why verses 26 and 27 go out of their way to assure us that it's the Moses and Aaron the descendants of Levi who were battling Pharaoh, not some other Moses and Aaron. Were there a lot of Moses and Aaron's running around in the ancient world? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
