From Stephen Elliott
John Wesley Harding’s Cabinet of Wonders blends performances by musicians, authors and comedians into an hour-long variety show recorded live at New York’s City Winery.
The first two episodes are already up, and the fifth episode will feature Rumpus columnist Rick Moody.
...moreCabinet of Wonders takes an in-depth look at tickling as pain relief, and at the medical benefits it can provide.
...moreAt my wedding, one of my groom’s vows was a promise to tickle my feet. This was only half-facetious: foot-tickling, for me, has come to be an expression by my loved one(s) of affection and the provision of relief at the end of a long day, much as monkeys groom each other to express intimacy and the desire to take care of each other.
