- My Mazel!
I find this amazing podcast and it turns out it’s not being made any more! As my Bubbie used to say, “When I’m ready for dancing, that’s when the band goes Pishin’!”

So sad this show isn’t on anymore 😥
Apple Podcasts5DustymoustacheUnited States5 years ago - woodturner
One of the best podcasts on antisemitism I have ever listened to from the perspective of the comman people's view and not an historical perspective and lecture but a real world view.

Apple Podcasts5rachelrose.scUnited States8 years ago - HIlariously thought provoking
The atheist episode is fantastic, so many interesting points of view. The issue of g-d is up in the air, but I do believe in this podcast.
Apple Podcasts5CDF199United States8 years ago - Funny bits of Jewish culture
Religion and culture meet up in this thought provoking podcast. I can't wait till it starts up again. Bring back Ronna and Beverly! Kasher vs Kasher is the crown Jewel and Nanna is a real treat.

Canada9 years ago - NPR level production, great guests
I have been binge-listening to this -- I am trying to get in touch with my own jewyness (listen if you don't get the reference) and what I love is balance of intellect and spiritual. I get so much out of the groovy rabbi -- I even subscribed to his podcast (Parshanut) because he really speaks in a language I understand and it feels relevant. And Nana is the best guest star ever -- love the respect everyone has for her, as well as her dead-on delivery. This is a Jewish community I want to be a... more
Apple Podcasts5WrkSmrtrUnited States9 years ago - Consistent comedy with replay value
I can listen to these two all day. While some would shun the idea of two Jewish mothers giving advice and talking about their activities for an hour, these two have given me some of the biggest belly laughs I've ever had. Listen in public at your own discretion. You may experience occasional bouts of uncontrollable laughter and visible cringing. These yentas are the maternal Jewish figures everyone needs in their life.
Apple Podcasts5KributzUnited States9 years ago - Well rounded look at all stuff jewy
Great podcast for exploring Jewish identity. It's funny engaging and has a broad spectrum of topics and guests. As a secular Jew, I love it especially because the focus is not on the religion but rather on culture. Not that Judaism as a religion is ignored. All in all its one of the most well rounded Jewish programs I've ever encountered :)
Apple Podcasts5Svet-OrUnited States9 years ago - Love it
Totally what I needed to expand my Jewish horizons
Apple Podcasts5junk2147United States9 years ago - Thoughtful and entertaining
Have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast. Its thoughtful but doesn't take itself too too seriously and moves at a pace that keeps the listener engaged and interested.
Dan is a terrific host - captures some sobering moments and then breaks it up with well-timed levity and the Kasher brothers are spectacular together.
Apple Podcasts5Early am commuterUnited States9 years ago - Hilarious and thought-provoking
This is a phenomenal podcast. It often makes me laugh out loud, especially Dan's Nana and the Kasher brothers. Yet the Kashers, as well as many other segments, always have something to teach me. Dan Crane is a perfect guide (he sounds just like Kai Risdell, another awesome host) - smart, funny, curious, and always striking the right tone. I'm hooked!
