137. What's the deal with Rabbi Akiva?

It's time for our Rabbi Akiva omnibus episode! Where did he come from, where did he go? Was he cool, or not so much? Also, is he sort of also an allegory for the process of history? We will try to find out! Visit our website to ask us questions at xaihowareyou.com and call or Text the Talmud Hotline at 401-484-1619 and leave us a voicemail. Support us on patreon at patreon.com/xaihowareyou. Follow us on twitter @xaihowareyou and @miss_figured. Music by Ben Schreiber.
