AN IMMENSE WORLD is the delightful new book from The Atlantic staff writer Ed Yong, and he joins us on the show to talk about meeting animals on their own terms, the connection between Jane Austen and mice, peacocks and The Bee Gees; how hearing is also a kind of touch and how deer-like creatures transformed into whales; his pandemic puppy and his literary inspirations (including Mary Roach) and much more, with Poured Over’s host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Becky.

Description from David Godman's YouTube channel:
While I was sitting in Annamalai Swami's ashram, talking about various aspects of Bhagavan's teachings, Henri Jolicoeur, the man who was filming me, asked a question about Papaji and his devotion to Krishna. What followed was an impromptu interview in which I managed to cover most aspects of Papaji's early life and his association with Ramana Maharshi. The talk was quite a long one, so we have split this particular story into two episodes.
