  • So insightful, even for Gentiles like me

    I’m not Jewish, but I find this podcast incredibly interesting in how it gives me a very specific insight into some big world events that are going to be some of the defining issues of our age, but also lovely insights into the beauty and diversity of Judaism.

  • sorely needed

    writing this from the limited perspective of a single-episode listener, but a) that will change fast, and b) i found your conversation on community safety organising to be an absolute treasure, striking a deep affinity with the local context i’m in, and opening up pathways to collective action i’ve had a sense of more than a language for. thank you so, so much, lots of love and fortitude from within fortress europe
