Customer Reviews
Loving this Podcast
Where else can you go to hear Imam Mohamad Jebara and Tucker Carlson where both are treated with dignity, respect, and a true desire to learn. I will continue to listen and hopefully allow myself to learn. I would highly recommend this podcast.
Totally Lost Me
I found some of his podcast interesting. He totally lost me and all credibility though when he had Tucker Carlson on, and actually treated him like he was some kind of respectable thinker. It was actually an offense to Jewish values.
Terrific podcast
There are truly great discussions of the Torah and Bible here — Mark and his guests show how these passages are always interesting and so relevant to our lives today.
