  • Resumen

  • 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 Ní Chaoimh hosts a lighthearted chapter by chapter discussion of the novel with her friend, comedian M.J. Stokes. New episodes come out every second Wednesday.

too many digressions

less personal philosophy and more information about The monkey King. I'm interested in the story but they keep heading into personal and baseless conjecture.

Good story but they talk to much

I really like the story but they don’t go deeper into the details of it and I’m lazy so I don’t want to read it myself which leads to lack of information for me.

Ps I do like some of the digressions though
