Episode #11: The People's Torah

In the roller-coaster season finale of Idol Worship's inaugural season, Yoni and Judy break down the ending of Survivor 48, which included the weird return of David Hamelech, the crowning of a winner, and yes, that slick, slick mud. Then, they are joined for short segments by six (!) loyal listeners, who share their Survivor and/or Judaism journeys, drop their takes on Survivor 48, analyze "winner's edits" in the Torah, and opine (sometimes in Yiddish) on Survivor's "pintele Yid." The guest segments close with a rousing rant from Judy's dad about how his parenting style overlaps with his approach to Survivor fandom.Finally, Yoni and Judy close out their first season as cohosts (and their undergrad experience) by sharing their sage wisdom on the Parsha, Shavuot, and podcasting, picking their favorite guests (a real Blood vs. Water choice when family members are involved!), and looking ahead to the Jewish angle on Survivor 49. We hope you enjoy as much as we did!Questions? Comments? Want to stay in touch about the Survivor x Judaism ideas that you have over the summer?
