Megillah 19: Who, How, When, and Why We Read Megillah
Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

Which leads into the nature of what we do that season, remembering Amalek and so on. Also, who can read the Megillah, and who cannot. And why "deaf" means something different from the expected "deaf-mute" who so often appears in rabbinic literature.
