  • E5 Bob Dylan, feat. Jordan Foisy
    Dec 21 2021

    Despite his vague statements, Christian lyrics and brief conversion to evangelicalism, Bob Dylan is considered a Jew by most Jews. He had a bar mitzvah; his parents were involved in B'nai Brith and Hadassah; he went to Camp Herzl. He's performed in Tel Aviv and at a Chabad telethon.

    That's evidence enough for Jordan Foisy, a comedian and writer, whose favourite Jew is the Nobel-winning troubadour poet and singer born Robert Zimmerman.

  • E3 Fran Lebowitz, feat. Rachel Manson
    Nov 8 2021

    From the moment Rachel Manson first saw Fran Lebowitz in The Wolf of Wall Street, she... didn't know who Lebowitz was. But after that—and after multiple personal crises during the pandemic, during which she watched Pretend It's a City and started reading her books—she became a fan.
