Interesting mode of Torah study

And exactly what I need after long workday. A proper mix of meaningful discourse and fun nonsense.

For thinkers and pop culture enthusiasts

Even if you haven’t seen the wide variety of programs and movies they discuss, the conversations are fascinating. Pop culture serves as a modern entry to age old philosophies found in biblical and rabbinic Torah. You don’t have to be observant or even media savvy to enjoy the discussions. This is a podcast for all!
