Apple Podcasts5MmmToasttUnited States5 months ago - I Look Forward
Every week, Being Jewish with Jonah Platt is at the top of my to-listen-to podcast list. Jonah’s ability to keep the show’s mood from going too too dark is well balanced by truth, insight, and nuance. For a “Lefty” Jews who’s felt politically homeless (and very lonely) this podcast welcomes me in and reminds me I’m in exactly the right spot.
