  • Love this!

    This is such a bright light in Jewish podcasts and a wonderful way to bring Jewish women together whose observance levels vary, but who all are proud of their awesome Jewishness. Shout out to my HUC-JIR classmate Rabbi Diana Fersko! đź©·

  • Love it!

    I just binged the first four episodes and I’m excited for more! I love the way the four hosts chat about such a variety of things. Bonus love for having an Esther on the show. There aren’t that many of us out there, and I love hearing my name on the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cheesecake, Congress, and Joan Rivers with Julie Klausner
Q: What does it mean for Jewish candidates to amplify or hide aspects of their Jewish identity in a political race?
The hosts discuss that candidates may choose to foreground certain Jewish identities or connect with Jewish voters in different ways, and emphasize that being open about one's views on Israel and anti-Semitism can reveal much about their character and suitability to represent a Jewish community.
Good Hair, Good Books with Zibby Owens
Q: Zibby, what is your secret to reading so many books and staying on top of manuscripts?
She does not sleep much, reads five books at once, and treats reading as a constant, essential part of her daily routine.
GOLDA Interviews: Fran Fabriczki, Author of 'Porcupines'
Q: What was it like publishing through Nu Reads, and why is that important for Jewish literature?
Fran describes Nu Reads as a meaningful platform that connects debut authors with a built-in Jewish readership, helping sustain publishing as a business and fostering long-term reader engagement.
GOLDA Interviews: Fran Fabriczki, Author of 'Porcupines'
Q: How did your own life across Budapest, LA, and London influence the novel's voice and setting?
Fran explains that writing from multiple cultural perspectives allowed her to capture an outsider's view of American life and to weave Jewish identity into the fabric of the story.
GOLDA Interviews: Fran Fabriczki, Author of 'Porcupines'
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about Porcupines and its central themes?
The book follows Sonia, a Hungarian immigrant, and her daughter Mila, exploring immigration, motherhood, and the tension between new American life and past identities across LA, San Francisco, and beyond.
