- I love your show!
I love it when there are two people having a discussion on a show. It makes it so much more dynamic and listenable especially like to listen when I’m on my own and it makes me feel like I have company to talk to.

United States2 months ago - Magen David episode
What a pity that this interesting subject was covered by such millennials (?). Schwab’s up-speak and Steiner’s nasal little girl voice made it unlistenable for me.

Apple Podcasts5arthousecleanerUnited Statesa year ago - Binge
I have been traveling over the past three days and I have been binging this podcast - these two are quick, intelligent, thoughtful, witty and fun. And they are not precious and pious.
“Things in the past used to be so great” is what people often say. These two make me think the opposite - these are two amazingly thoughtful people/Jews that portend a bright future.
Apple Podcasts5Andy6278852United Statesa year ago - Lighthearted depth
Often one of the highlights of my week to think along with these two. The topics are varied and relevant and nicely not specific to one geographical area (I’m in Tokyo).
