I was interviewed by Journey to the West Podcast

This was a super fun interview.

Journey to the West: The Podcast has been going through the book one chapter at a time. It is a great project and a great way to learn, study and enjoy. Here is how they wrote me up:

Special Guest: Scott Park Phillips, Master Martial Artist and Dancer!

This week we rest our weary cloud-trodding feet and take a deep dive with Scott Park Phillips into the Tao of Journey to the West. Learn how classic Chinese stories were used in theatre, war, and religious rituals. Uncover some of the martial arts' greatest secrets. If you thought you understood the Monkey King and his travel buddies, think again!

We even got a bit into cannibalism.
Here is a direct link to the download. But I encourage you to check out the whole project.
