    Episode 220: The Dream of a Ridiculous Man: Live at the Dream Mapping Symposium
    Oct 7 2026
    On September 26, JF and Phil took part in the Dream Mapping Symposium, a three-day event organized by the Dream Mapping Project and the Dream Library Foundation, and held at the Brooklyn Public Library. Their mission was twofold. First, Phil was to read Dostoevsky's short story "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man," and then, he and JF were to have one of their conversations about it. Despite inclement weather, exploding lighting equipment and the labyrinthine NYC subway system, it went off like a dream. In this episode, we offer you the full recording of the event. Special thanks to Alisa Minyukova and Kelly Bulkeley for a thought-provoking weekend. To support Weird Studies, ⁠become a patron⁠ of the show. It's not too late to sign up to Erik Davis's Weirdosphere course, Do Androids Dream of Reading PKD? The first of two live Q&As with Erik is on Sunday, October 11, 2026.
