Excellent interviews with fascinating people. Inspiring insights.

I've never rated a podcast before, but Jonah Platt (no relation) deserves it! What a breath of fresh air to hear people unapologetically reflecting on being Jewish, and what that means to them. He's a real rock (OK, Broadway) star!
Description
Being Jewish with Jonah Platt is the hit weekly podcast that illuminates the vast, beautiful, and often unexplored tapestry of Jewish identity, through deeply honest and personal conversations with notable Jews and non-Jewish allies alike. Hosted by actor & advocate Jonah Platt, a trusted expert in contemporary Jewish culture, identity, and politics, Being Jewish seeks to engage, educate, and empower listeners to take full ownership of their identities and live as their proudest, most authentic selves.
