We're diving into the spiritual and unknown with two incredible guests who will share their unique experiences and insights. Leading our mystical journey, we have Tiffany Warren, a Psychic Intuitive with an intriguing blend of talents as a classical musician, dancer, and former professional gymnastics coach from Los Angeles. Tiffany has embraced her remarkable abilities to see entities, angels, and demons, transforming her life into a mission to assist those plagued by supernatural disturbances. She will regale us with spine-tingling tales from her YouTube channel, Soul Stories, discussing her profound experiences with crossing spirits over and clearing entities from various spaces. Following Tiffany, get ready to be captivated by Nancy Orlen Weber, a celebrated psychic detective and author with over four decades of consulting for law enforcement agencies. Nancy will delve into her autobiography, "The Life of a Psychic Detective," sharing her pioneering techniques for locating missing persons and solving crimes with her psychic abilities. Her discussion will also encompass her spiritual journey and its impact on her professional life as a consultant. Nancy's second book, "All Nature Speaks: Conversations With Pets and Wildlife," unveils the profound interconnectedness between humans and the animal kingdom, enriched by her personal experiences of animal communication. This narrative encourages us to explore and deepen our bond with nature. Prepare for an episode filled with enlightening stories and discoveries in the psychic realm. This show is a must-listen for both the curious and the believers!

What happens when a novelist wants “nonsense and joy” but his characters are destined for a Central European sanatorium? How does the abecedarian form (i.e. organized not chronologically or sequentially but alphabetically) insist on order, yet also embrace absurdity? Here to ponder such questions with host John Plotz are University of Wisconsin–Madison's Sunny Yudkoff (last heard on ND speaking with Sheila Heti) and Adam Ehrlich Sachs, author of Inherited Disorders, The Organs of Sense, and the recently published Gretel and the Great War. Sachs has fallen under the spell of late Habsburg Vienna, where the polymath Ludwig Wittgenstein struggled to make sense of Boltzmann's physics, Arnold Schoenberg read the acerbic journalist Karl Kraus, and everyone, Sachs suspects, was reading Grimms' Fairy Tales, searching for the feeling of inevitability only narrative closure can provide. Beneath his OULIPO-like attachment to arbitrary orders and word-games, though, Sachs admits to a desire for chaos. Thomas Bernhard, later 20th century Austrian experimental novelist Heinrich von Kleist, “Michael Kohlhass” Romantic-era German writer Italo Calvino,If on a Winter's Night a Traveler OULIPO Home of French literary experimentalists like Perec and Raymond Queneau Georges Perec's most famous experiment is Life: A User's Manual (although John is devoted to “W: or the Memory of Childhood”) Dr. Seuss, On Beyond Zebra!

Marcel Proust: was he a worldbuilder and fantasist, as Nabokov says or, as Doris Lessing claims, principally an anatomist of French social structures, a second Zola?
