Spirituality, Rigor & Improv (with Alex Edelman)
🦈🦈🦈 Paul and Stephen welcome brilliant writer and comedian Alex Edelman for a deep chinwag on spirituality, religion, improvisation, and paranormal leanings. Listen as they dive right in with why the CIA should use Baby Shark in its interrogation program, the importance and virtue of repetition in the process of joke writing, the Socratic method in comedy, and how AI and Chat GPT will affect the future of humor. The conversation then turns to Romanian religious historian Mircea Eliade and the importance and need for rigor in religion. Then, the disappointing physical location of Armageddon, Jewish belief in an afterlife, why murder is mentioned in the commandments, and Alex’s biggest Judaism pet peeve. Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art. Alex Edelman is a writer and comedian whose acclaimed Broadway one-man show Just For Us is now streaming on HBO Max. 🦈🦈🦈 ========= 🚨🚨🚨 LIVE CHINWAG TAPINGS ANNOUNCED 🚨🚨🚨 CHINWAG is coming to a city near you!
