On the Rocks

This week on Unorthodox: Gentiles love Manischewitz, the new Han Solo’s Jewish, and Nazi pugs exist.

Our Jewish guest comes bearing tequila and sangrita. Rosie Schaap is the “Drink” columnist for the New York Times Magazine and the author of Drinking With Men: A Memoir. She tells us why there’s more to bars than drinking, whether there are any drink orders she can’t stand, and the cocktail essentials every drinker should have at home.

Our Gentile of the Week is Doug Henwood, publisher and editor of Left Business Observer and the author of the 2015 anti-Hillary book, My Turn: Hillary Clinton Targets the Presidency. He discusses the book’s controversial cover image, what he thinks will happen to the Bernie campaign, and who he’d vote for in a Clinton-Trump election.

We love to hear from you! Send comments, questions, and complaints to [email protected]. We’ll share our favorites on air. Come see us live at the American Hebrew Academy in Greensboro, North Carolina, on May 16.
