   1001 Nights, Nights 45-106

   This month, Josh and Michial discuss the first half of a Sheherazadean tale so long it's basically a mid-length novel, "King Umar ibn-Nu'man and His Family." It's got everything from old ladies farting to holy wars to philosophical disquisitions, and we're talking about it all! Join us!
