  • Jews Don't Count w/ David Baddiel
    Oct 23 2022

    This week I am talking with David Baddiel

    David is an English comedian, presenter, screenwriter, author and self described Jewish atheist, who as well as being the co-writer of the de facto anthem of English football, has written a highly acclaimed book, Jews Don't Count, that largely highlights the double standards extensively employed (either knowingly or unknowingly) by anti-racists or progressives when dealing with antisemitism.

    For the last 30 years or so, if it wasn’t his regular appearances on top UK comedy shows like Taskmaster or 8 Out of 10 Cats, or growing up reading his incredible children's books, or drunkenly singing Three Lions anytime there’s a whiff of the England football team winning a match, you couldn’t not be aware of some aspect of David’s work living in the UK.

  • Reclaiming My Story w/ Ben M Freeman
    Oct 16 2022

    This week I’m talking with Ben M. Freeman...

    Ben is a Scottish, gay, Jewish educator and prominent thought-leader on Jewish education, history and identity, and he came on the podcast exactly one year ago to talk about his tremendous book, Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People, that I’ve quoted and referenced ever since!

    Ben’s latest book, Reclaiming our Story: The Pursuit of Jewish Pride, the second in a Ben M. Freeman trilogy, comes out on 24th of October 2022, anywhere you get books.

    Reclaiming Our Story explores the impact of Jew-hate on Jews, and the long history of internalised anti-Jewishness - it’s powerful stuff and you can pre-order it NOW!
