  • My favorite of all the Jewish comics podcasts

    This podcast would be my favorite podcast about Jewish content in comics even if there were a thousand others. Henry and Rabbi Brandon never fail to educate and entertain. Plus, Ben Grimm! Shadowcat! Moon Knight! SERAPH!!! How can you go wrong?

  • A “Must Listen!”

    What a joy to listen to the first episode of the Funny They Don't Look Jewish Podcast co-hosted by my brother Henry Bernstein! Of course I’m biased, but I truly find this to be creative, original and funny with profound insights into portrayals of Judaism in superhero comic books. -Rabbi Edward Bernstein
