  • Random ad interruptions su*k

    I loved this podcast and then they added ads that cut in in the middle of a sentence.

    I get the need to monetize, but could y’all do it in a way that doesn’t ruin listener experience?

  • Excellent Podcast!

    As an Israeli, we are very focused on what’s happening here, and not always aware of what our people are going through in the diaspora. Shai’s excellent interviews enable us to dive deep into what contemporary antisemitism really is, and lights up many angles. The podcast is a great contribution to Jewish peoplehood in these challenging times.
