As is happening to me quite often with all 3 podcasts, I am finding a story that starts out with "Oh, I'm not gonna like this one..." and ends with "Wow! I gotta hear that again!"
Major kudos for this one. The writing and the reading were great!
I expected to miss out on most of the references, not being Jewish. I didn't feel that way at all. If I missed something, I don't know it. Not once did I find myself wondering what the author was saying.
I always say that fiction should entertain me. If it happens to enlighten or instruct, so much the better. In the end, though, it's all about enjoying the story. And I really enjoyed this one.
This one in particular brought back some great memories. Most of you know the ones. Over at a friend's for 9 hours, playing DnD. The DM throws in a Wish.
"Oh, great!", you say to yourself (because you don't dare say it out loud!). "I know this guy. No matter what I wish for, he's gonna ruin my whole night!"
But you can't pass it off to another player. He might just pull off the best Wish ever, then you night is ruined. And the next day as your buddy brags about it. And the next week as he still brags about it.
You know, that memory!
I like that memory. Especially now that I am old and fat.
So, to the author, I say...
More. Now.
