A Bintel Brief is the wizened parent of the “Dear Abby” column. It’s often tragicomic advice inspired a generation Immigrants. Today, the spirit of the original Bintel Brief is being fearlessly run by two amazing comediennes who offers witty and humorous insight to Todays issues.
It’s a short and wonderful addition to each week and I deeply appreciate it.
Check it out if you’re looking for advice, humor, or something small that can brighten your day or your week as you move through life.

I love this podcast! It feels like catching up with my closest friends, dishing gossip and advice together to solve our problems (and kvetch a bit). The co-hosts are so brilliant and fun. Can’t wait for more.

My zadye used to read the column to my bubbeh in Yiddish. I didn’t always understand the questions but usually understood the gist of the answers. Looking forward to the new “A Bintel Brief”

What a great idea for a podcast! I love The Forward and can tell by the trailer that this is going to be so funny and insightful. I listen to a LOT of podcasts and I don’t think there’s anything like this.
