New England Prep

Live from New Haven, we talk politics with Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman and WNPR host Colin McEnroe, plus AEPi’s party foul

September 22, 2016


This episode was recorded live from the JCC of Greater New Haven.

Our Jewish guest is Connecticut Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, who explains what exactly a lieutenant governor does. She also tells us how she made her way from Brooklyn to New England, whether she’d run for governor, and what she thinks of Donald Trump.

Our Gentile of the Week is humorist and WNPR host Colin McEnroe, our first-ever returning gentile (during his first visit, last summer, he told us he preferred the term “token goy” or “goykin”). He tells us how the impulses fostered by reality television have overtaken the 2016 election, and how Trump’s candidacy has coincided with his return to church after many many years.

We’re also joined by our Jewbadour, the very talented Jim Knable.
