Jew Girl: a New Girl Podcast for the Jewcurious

This podcast is extremely pro public schooling, pro justice, and pro latke (no matter how you say it). Join us this episode as we eat the rich, pee in front of the bathhouse statue, count to 18, and talk about ranking levels of charitable goodness!

This podcast is PRO-ROCK! Very pro gem and jems. So kick back, relax, give up some control, maybe get tested for OCD, and carve out some limited time for Shabbat mode in your life. Oneg Shabbat and Gut Shabbos.

Dead car? Dead cat? Dead parent? High five!

Anything can be a milkshake, or a thinly-veiled song trashing your student, or a problematic set of new All-American Men-Only Mahjong rules, or a name for The Lord, or a weird translation of Josh. Just breathe. This is a good episode with a lot of spoken and unspoken MEANING and POWER and THE OPPOSITE OF HATE.

ONE NIGHT ONLY. One. Except sometimes two. Count 'em! This week we discuss carving out time.

Loneliness for Remy, HR violations for Schmidt, and JUSTICE FOR JULIA. Elul the month, Shofar the ram horn, and self-reflective mindfulness. Quick question—are people inherently good or bad? No pressure, but the Yetzer HaRa and Yetzer HaTov really want to know, and one of them can do a handstand. He's got a point.

What's makes a girly girl? Whose damp towel is this? And why might one hum wordlessly while handwashing? Ah HECKscher, let's LABEL some answers.

Still on the Make Hanukkah Golden soapbox, but that's besides the points—this week we have a sacrificial cult waving dinosaur red flags, eating Peeps from Beets and Jelly Fruit Slices, doing the Vulcan salute, smelling goats, and rethinking reinventing oneself.

Now wait, don't melt down that menorah—or hanukkiah—too fast with your golden olive oil (definitely in a glass bottle). This week the Maccabees are bringing down the hammer on the Seleucid Empire and John Hanukkah. Step on your soapbox as we talk about holiday branding, diversity, assimilation, light vs darkness, and gold... GOLD.

"Who is Susan Sarandon?" he said in his best Jimmy Stewart voice. Justin long, still here and going strong. A haircut that's a real ear-cutter. The Kuleshov Effect. Baby showers vs The Evil Eye. And performing feminininityity.

A montage derash about the house of gooseBUMPS, meats, high standards, Sergei Eisenstein, The Talmud, Beit Shammai vs Beit Hillel, and Elu V'Elu—but also SIKE, kinda.

A Thanksgiving Seder of sorts, featuring a different kind of bear, charoset, racist college deans, "quotas," Justin Long, guarded domains, and blanching or talking (but not both).

Bird Cat, Melk, Parkour, Ben Kingsley, India, and a Tu B'Av Horror Movie DIRECTED by Feet (get it?) this week on Jew Girl!

This week we tackle magic, identity, an old Floridian man in a bar, and that word Jess can’t seem to say. Fair warning—we say it a lot.

Turducken in a wedding veil, pretending to be sober, and Natasha Lyonne. It'll all make sense in this episode of Jew Girl!

Wrestle with power! Smash a flower pot! This week we discuss Jess's struggle to confront her Kryptonite—Spencer's luscious flowing locks.

Wait, what's "Parashat?" Guess you'll find out! This week Robin and Jay discuss the New Girl pilot and what it means to restart.
