I know, that title, right?!

It’s actually kind of clever, proven all the more by the fact that I’m going to explain it to you.

The upcoming podcasts will involve my wife (…finally back on the podcast…) and my old friend, Jim Llewellyn. That’s a fantastic Welsh name. Makes me want to eat bangers and mash, or whatever the fuck the Welsh eat. Phonetically, you’d say, “Loo-Wellin,” and the word “insanity” begins with the very syllable that ends Jim’s very Welsh name. There’s also the whole Jeremy Lin thing, which you’d know if you were really into basketball, pop culture phenomena, and/or the exploits of very tall Chinese-American Christians. “Linsanity” was a thing.

And now? Llewellynsanity.

What is Llewellynsanity all about?

I’m glad you asked.

First, the fact that Jim is a mental health professional brings an immediate layer of profundity to the endeavor, doesn’t it?

(No, I know…it’s just a cheap Dad-joke punchline.)

Also, there’s the topical smorgasbord of friendship origin stories; unusual affectations involving pacifiers, Amish beards, and other non sequitur paraphernalia; a cappella animosities; encounters with cannabis, and a Jerry Garcia doppelganger. (Those final two things really make sense together, no? Also, there are no animosities, I just liked the alliteration of the phrase.)

So hey, why not give this a listen.

We begin with a story, “Where In the World Is Carmen San Diego,” by Rockapella, and we conclude with a bar bell and, “Spread Love” by Take 6.

Truly, good stuff.

We present to you, “Llewellynsanity, pt 1.”
