EP9: Galilee, pt 2 - Come on Jesus, what was your best miracle [~25 CE]

Picking up from the knife-edge where we left off last time, in this episode we find out whether Tan’s plan to take over the saffron trade in Galilee circa 25AD pays off.

PastMaster is the time-travel role-playing adventure show where Ryan, Keon and Tan explore a different era of history each episode with the help of our AI GameMaster.

With a gang of local tough-nuts and farmers now working for him and making plans to out-do rival saffron trader Mordechai at his own game, Tan takes a break from business to meet local miracle worker Jesus Christ.

Tan tries to persuade Jesus to embrace musical theatre and the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber as a way to get his message out there. He also discusses divine phenomena with the holy man and asks him if he has a favourite miracle.

Returning to his business after a philosophical and musical debate with Jesus, Tan ups the ante with a plan to set lions and death worms loose in Mordechai’s house.

Will the plan succeed or will Tan be persuaded to take a more scientific approach such as gene-editing saffron to create a better strain?

NB As promised in the show we’d like to credit Mark Nelson for his 2015 joke about the feeding of the 5,000. Still a good joke.
