"Jewish Mother Me" is a brutally honest but (nearly) always humorous look at the world of the Jewish mother. And why, despite her unashamed need to mother, or even smother, everyone she meets, she can also be a source of wisdom and cause for celebration. In each episode the three UK based hosts, all nurtured by Jewish mothers, and now Jewish mothers themselves, chew over subjects through the prism of their experiences. The aim of each podcast is to leave you feeling, at the very least, amused and at best inspired by the uniquely warm, sometimes bonkers, but always well intended
