You’ve found Island Idylls! In this inaugural episode, Barry and Aaron get to the bottom of the title. What island are they talking about (hint: Aloha) and what exactly is an “idyll”? They explain the origin of the podcast. Long story short, it begins with a father who spent his life as an English professor and a son who loves to ask lots of questions. Barry is a literature expert, and Aaron gets him to discuss the importance of expertise in a world where the transfer of knowledge has been democratized. There is so much to be thankful for in this data-driven digital age, but there’s a time to kick back and learn from those who have given extended time to study a particular subject. Aaron and Barry explain what sets this podcast apart. It’s not just that they are father and son--thought that’s fun. But the one asking the questions--the son--is, gasp, an evangelical pastor. The one answering grew up on the streets of Brooklyn in an orthodox Jewish community. It’s always a lively conversation.
