    I’m a huge fan. The amount of thought and preparation that goes into making this podcast is incredible. The depth with which Lisa and the guest try to pick apart the questions to get at what the writer is really asking shows their commitment to not just answering what appears to be the halachah but what considerations go into the decisions and the many layers of meaning. Highly recommend!!
