You don’t need to be a religious Jew to make listening to this your practice. Episodes are always insightful and well-curated, with Arielle acting as a steady guide. I will be happy when they finally decide to change the image, but that’s my only gripe!
I started listening for podcasts about Jewish subjects that only On the Nose covered but before long I found that Jewish Currents is the most reliable and accessible news source available to me for in-depth responses to the news in general
Appreciate the ideas and discussions that are brought up each episode. Even if I initially disagree with a point, they will explain so I understand it more and will question my initial perspective. I love how they just really dive into the complexity of current issues and have voices from various backgrounds speaking.
This is a wonderful and essential podcast! I am always excited for the new pod to drop because it’s almost always about something I’m thinking about! Especially grateful for Arielle’s recent commentary on the terrible Candace O./Norman F. conversation. I searched for good commentary about it because it was such a train wreck, but the only thoughtful response (and almost only response at all) was On the Nose. Thank you!!!!
