Texas, Jews, & Hebrew Tattoos with Special Guest: Esther Kustanowitz (the Bagel Report, TV Gone Jewy)

Journalist, writer, and co-host of the Bagel Report podcast, Esther Kustanowitz joins Friday Night Movie for part 1 of a deep discussion about Jewish representation in pop-culture. The episode begins with reflections on the Beth Israel hostage crisis in Texas and a discussion about how and why we look to Jewish celebrities for their reactions to events of trauma. We also explore Esther's outstanding work creating TV Gone Jewy and exchange celebrity Hebrew tattoo sightings. Part 2 will drop Friday morning at the usual time.  Links Esther’s Website: http://www.estherk.com/  The Bagel Report: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bagel-report/id1487559377  TV Gone Jewy: https://www.facebook.com/TVGoneJewy  Sign up for the Friday Night Movie Newsletter for giveaways, curated episode playlists from the hosts and guests (including our mom), and at MOST one email per month (and probably fewer).  The Friday Night Movie Family supports the following organizations: NAACP Legal Defense Fund | Equal Justice Initiative | Asian American Journalists Association.
