The Comical Heathen Episode Fourteen: A.J. Jacobs

In this episode of the Comical Heathen your host Jerry interviews A.J. Jacobs.  A.J. is the author of numerous New York Time's Bestsellers, including The Year of Living Biblically (which was the basis for the short-lived CBS sitcom of the same name). We discuss his motivations for writing the book, his opus of immersion memoirs, his influences as a humour writer, and his thoughts on how September 11 affected his work.

This episode includes an update from the rabbit hutch and Jerry's rant about psychics!!
