Katrina and Geoff are back! This episode launches an ongoing project for this year to cover ALL one thousand and one nights worth of tales.... Just kidding. But we will be talking about them a lot! In this episode, Katrina instructs us on the complicated nature of this collection and how it is paradoxically both much older and much newer than you might think. She then retells the elaborate (and often overlooked) backstory of King Shahriyar and his brother that sets up the familiar frame story of Scheherazade and her thousand tales.
