How to Change Politically, with Dr. Sebastian Gorka

In 2017, Liel, back then no fan of Donald Trump, wrote a piece defending one of the president’s advisors, Sebastian Gorka, who was outrageously accused of being an actual Nazi. The reaction it generated sent Liel on a journey of political transformation, one that many Americans have recently shared, away from intimidation and lies and towards freedom and enthusiastic faith in America. Dr. Gorka joins Liel to talk about why Trump’s detractors are still smearing his top aides as extremists, and why we even conservatives should want the Democrat Party to reinvent itself and grow saner and stronger.

The Strange Death of American Publishing with Adam Bellow

Once upon a time, American publishing houses were paragons of excellence, championing writers like Cytnhia Ozick or Saul Bellow and helping create a robust culture. These days, however, the industry has been hijacked by inflamed activists who are more interested in banning books than publishing them, and who are especially keen to target Jewish writers, editors, and colleagues. Liel is joined by editor and publisher Adam Bellow to discuss how book publishing descended into madness, and what might yet be done to save it.

What Just Happened at the Ballot? With Eli Lake and Alana Newhouse

With Donald Trump slated to return to the White House after a truly historic upset, many Americans are feeling joyful and many others bereft. Both may be missing the point, which is that change, in America, often comes by precisely in a string of revolutions, tearing down old and crumbling institutions and replacing them with ones better geared to serve the needs of their constituents. Free Press columnist Eli Lake joins Liel to deliver a quick and insightful recap of what happened on Tuesday and what it means for Democrats, Republicans, Israel, the media, and everybody else. And Tablet's Editor in Chief Alana Newhouse delivers a master class on why everyone, regardless of party affiliation, should feel tremendously hopeful about America's future.

What's Really Killing American Democracy, with Will Tanner

With just a few days to go before the 2024 presidential elections, we hear a lot of chatter about American democracy, usually from partisan hacks who are more interested in touting self-serving lies than honing up to inconvenient truths. But the actual hurdles we face as we try to heal our ailing system are much more complicated, and overcoming them is going to take much more than lofty slogans. Liel is joined by writer Will Tanner, who delivers a cautionary tale from the late Roman Republic contemporary Americans should heed, and explains why the policies too many of our lawmakers are pursuing have led another nation grappling with racial justice, South Africa, to the brink of collapse.

Reasons to be Hopeful with Peter Himmelman

These days, a lot of people are feeling anxious about America, Israel, and the precarious state of the world. But Jews have always had a superpower—hope, not the facile and silly sort but the kind that motivates people to change the world. Liel is joined by singer, songwriter and author Peter Himmelman, who explains why giving up is never an option, why he chose a life of Jewish observance and reflection over greater fame and fortune, and why he decided to write a deeply moving song dedicated to the Bibas boys, Kfir and Ariel, still held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, a song he shares on the show. They also discuss Himmelman's new book, Suspended by No String.

Rootless: The show every Jew and every American patriot should listen to

18 oct

SJ&J

Finally there’s a show that unapologetically directly addresses the elephant in the room: The politics of envy (civilizational suicide) and how it’s infected American culture and, by extension, American Jews.
So depressing

I miss Unorthodox! The Jewish podcast community is flush with analyses of the challenges that we face as a nation. We don’t need another. Unorthodox so deftly balanced facing the realities of our world with stories joy, pride, and humor. Where are we — who are we — without those stories????
Tablet has abandoned us

Hamakosan

There used to be nuance and balance to the discourse on the flagship podcast, Unorthodox. There used to be lighthearted discussions and weighty topics all jn one episode. It used to have a large tent where Jews of all stripes could be comfortable. No longer. The rightward shift of the opinion podcast Rootless is clear and undeniable. Tablet abruptly cancelled Unorthodox and gave us this replacement that has Liel unbounded and free to rant for the first 15-30 minutes and then to bring in one sided guests for ideological discussions that are also very one sided. It’s unfortunate. The way they just shrugged off unorthodox and Stephanie B without a proper sendoff or explanation sits badly. Plus, they have a million different podcasts on one feed which means your feed will be clogged with shows you have no intention on listening but still must deal with the clutter. Tablet, do better.
Over and out

It's just Liel now and his right wing rants. Used to be great but more just sad.
