Been binging the podcast all day. Really brings a sensitive and serious issue to life with humor and insights. It is well produced and dramatizes unique aspects of history. Particularly found the episode on Spielberg interesting not just for the juxtaposition between Jurassic Park and Schindler List, but also for the insights and new perspectives into the portrayal of Jews on screen. Would like to see the podcast pickup with the events of 2023 and 2024

Dara Horn book was groundbreaking & this podcast add to that in relaying these Jewish stories. I hoped there would be more. Definitely recommend this podcast & her book to anyone & everyone.

The other reviewer is on point, interesting topics but what on earth is going on with this host? Please, get someone else and whilst you’re there stop with the over production. There is no need for music. I just spent an episode being shouted & rambled at so why torture me even more with the music? I’m not a masochist. I imagine this host leaves her dinner guests covered in food and spit. It’s too much man, I’m out.

Dara’s approach to confronting this matter is brilliant and gutsy. There are few authors who would let their voice rise to this level in trying to awaken a fading ... more
