Journey of the Monkey King
Journey to the West is one of the most influential books ever written and has inspired countless stories, including Monkie Kid, Dragon Ball and BBC’s Monkey, but has been obscure in the West. Caoimhe hosts a lighthearted chapter by chapter discussion of the novel with her friend, comedian M.J. Stokes. New episodes come out every second Wednesday.
#84—Four normal men selling ordinary horses sleeping zero feet apart because they’re not gay
We get to one of Caoimhe’s favourite chapters, in which the four pilgrims decide to go into completely heterosexual business selling normal horses with the correct amount of legs and such.
