Today we are speaking with Dr. Noah Levinson, a neurologist at Temple University Hospital.  Dr. Levinson is a born teacher, and shares with us today his path to medicine, his interest in the brain, his decision to pursue neurology, and what he loves about teaching students and residents. He recently was the attending on my neurology rotation, and we'll talk about some of the firsts I experienced alongside him. Having a patient die, delivering bad news, and getting close with a patient. That and more, from his bird-watching to beer-brewing.(Note: this episode was recorded on July 27, 2021)Instagram: @narrativesofnorthbroadTwitter: @NarrativesofNB

We hope you enjoyed listening to season one of Becoming Mother Nature as much as we enjoyed making it. You may know that the week we were set to launch the podcast Hurricane Florence hit the east coast of the U.S., causing a huge amount of destruction to the Carolinas and elsewhere. And in the last few weeks, we watched as wildfires devastated California. But during production of the show, we also came across a different kind of story about nature and more specifically about our changing climate. Gen-Z producer Noah Levinson went to Eugene, Oregon to talk to a group of kids who have come up with their own way to save Mother Nature. But unlike Chloe Lovejoy, they’re not superheroes. Just real life kids who are trying to make a difference. Becoming Mother Nature is produced by Gen-Z Media in partnership with PRX.

This week on Unorthodox, we're really, really sorry. We're marking the Days of Awe between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with our annual apology show. We're joined again this year by Tablet contributor Marjorie Ingall, who runs the website SorryWatch, which analyzes apologies in the news. She goes over the best and worst public apologies of 5778, and offers tips for how to make a meaningful apology. Storyteller Hal Karp tells of how, during a particularly dark period of his life, he goaded his brother into a fight that got him arrested—and how he ultimately repaired that relationship years later. Plus, our producer Noah Levinson catches up with Yonkers resident Quai Stewart, who gained Internet notoriety after his video mocking a young Hasidic boy’s haircut went viral—and whose subsequent apology video won him fans in the Jewish community. And finally, Sarah Lefton from BimBam.com joins us with a little lesson about Tzom Gedaliah. Want more Yom Kippur inspiration? You can listen to our previous apology episodes. In honor of the Jewish new year, we're giving away 10 beautiful mezuzahs from Apeloig Collection, a line of sleek and modern Judaica founded by sisters Daniela and Gabriela Apeloig.
