Episode 4: How a Monkey Millennial Gets a Job and a Promotion.

Published: Sept. 6, 2019, 4 p.m.

After the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, literally sent Deus Ex Machina packing last week by thrashing the two minor gods sent to take his soul, we're introduced to heaven's favorite civil servant, the wily Gold Star of Venus.
 
Who is this divine bureaucrat and will his plan to tame Wukong with a job working for the kingdom above work? What exactly is a BanHorse and what does he do? 
 
This week, Richard and James explore the heavenly kingdoms of ancient China, discover the nature of its ruler the Jade Emperor's power, and watch as the world's most powerful monkey throws a tantrum worthy of any self-entitled millennial, even getting his bosses to give him a job title of his own making! (Thankfully, the words "ninja", "rockstar" or "guru" aren't in it.)
 
Tune in this week to find out how Monkey gets himself a promotion!
