This week, esoteric scholarship leads to…Murder at Midnight! In this episode, “The Kabbalah,” a professor of the occult suddenly comes into possession of a strange, ancient book. Inside he discovers a forgotten version of the Kabbalah, and uses this system of transforming words into numbers to reveal hidden truths of the universe. It not only answers questions about the future, but also seems to grant wishes. What dark price does this book require for its secrets? Is this just the sort of thing that happens in a college towns? How many obscure references can we cram into one discussion? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

One “Murder at Midnight” ep you might have fun reviewing is “The Ape Song,” about a guy who turns into an ape.
Thanks for making that connection! Leader left quite a legacy! And oh, “guy who turns into an ape.” You just said the magic words. That sounds fantastic. We’ll have to give it a whirl.
