Daf Shvui/Weekly Daf: Give me forty minutes or so and I'll give you a daf or so
I know that all the cool kids are jumping on to the daf yomi bandwagon. However, if you are looking for something a bit more mellow, a bit more curated, less a part of the rough and tumble of the daf yomi speedway—I invite you to daf shvu'i, a weekly page of Talmud. In about 40-50 minutes you can learn a page of Talmud. No previous experience required.

Episode 13
Rava teaches R. Nahman's Torah. (How) Can one be forced to sell something? How might one undermine a contract written under duress? Two stories: one about a buyer behaving badly; one about a demanding lover and jilted adult son. So, pull up a chair, grab a beverage, and join us in the bet midrash in the closet.
This week's daf can be found:
1. Vilna page (Hebrew and Aramaic) from Hebrewbooks.org
2. Hebrew and English from Sefaria.org
3. Hebrew and Aramaic with many commentaries from Alhatorah.org
