Take Me to Church
Ep. 290: This week, pork controversies, old bands, and a new podcast about an old antisemite
This week on Unorthodox, we’re checking out the Rolling Stones, and getting spiritual along the way.
In this week’s news, the Orthodox Union won’t certify “Impossible Pork,” Maccabi Haifa receives an interesting welcome in Berlin, and Mark owns a wetsuit.
Tablet Studios is proud to bring you Radioactive, a new narrative podcast about radio priest and renowned antisemite Father Charles Coughlin. Enjoy this sneak peek, as well as Liel’s conversation with host Andrew Lapin, and be sure to subscribe.
Liel also sits down with pianist Simone Dinnerstein, who recently conducted a walking tour through Green-Wood Cemetery including performances on several pianos scattered throughout the route.
