My dad is back and we catch up on all things dopey and life including Alan's deeply specific breakfast routine. Dave also reads listener emails and comments about grief, recovery, Motley Crue, Safe Spot, Steve Poltz, Dopey socks, and whether celebrities actually bring the Dopey. Then the episode replays Dave's interview with the legendary Danny Trejo. Danny talks about growing up in Pacoima, smoking weed at eight, using heroin at twelve, idolizing his Uncle Gilbert, surviving violence, robberies, prison, Soledad, heroin withdrawal in the hole, and finally finding recovery through 12-step programs and a higher power. He also talks about his kids, helping addicts get treatment instead of prison, staying clean for decades, why he can't smoke weed, acting as a way to revisit—but not live in—the darkness, and why food, tacos, and pancakes can sometimes reach people better than lectures. All that and much more on this week's Dopey Greatest Hits!   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

ACTIVELY AGING. Erri De Luca was born in Naples in 1950. A widely celebrated Italian novelist, essayist, poet, and translator, he has been hailed as "the writer of the decade" by Italian critics and his work has been translated into over thirty languages. He has written around 80 books – some say 100 – and is also a translator of important works. He has studied ancient Hebrew, Swahili, Russian and Yiddish, and has translated several books from the Old Testament, such as Ecclesiastes, Exodus and the Book of Jonah. He has also appeared in films and documentaries, including L'età sperimentale (2024), which Feltrinelli subsequently published as a book. It has also recently been published by Gallimard in Paris, where Erri is known for having won several major literary prizes. "I don't believe I'll live for long, but my aim is to live the present day as intensely as possible." "I don't consider writing a job. For me, it has always been that saved time, and today it is a happy part of my day, but it is a small, happy part of my day." "We are in this uncertain time, where there is vagueness and resentment, and in this time I am quite out of the ordinary, out of place, because right now I feel more compassion, more feelings of brotherhood than feelings of hostility." https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/erri-de-luca/

The Rebbe writes that despite various reasons to consider change, it is essential to continue teaching these classes in Yiddish as before. He emphasizes the importance of preserving tradition in education and warns against underestimating the long-term effects of even minor changes. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/008/002/2271

Bukovina, when it has existed on official maps, has always fit uneasily among its neighbors. The region is now divided between Romania and Ukraine but has long been a testing ground for successive regimes, including the Habsburg Empire, independent and later Nazi-allied Romania, and the Soviet Union, as each sought to reshape the region in its own image. In this beautifully written and wide-ranging book Bukovina: The Life and Death of an East European Borderland (Princeton UP, 2025), Cristina Florea traces the history of Bukovina, showing how this borderland, the onetime buffer between Christendom and Islam, found itself at the forefront of modern state-building and governance projects that eventually extended throughout the rest of Europe. Encounters that play out in borderlands have proved crucial to the development of modern state ambitions and governance practices.Drawing on a wide range of archives and published sources in Russian, Ukrainian, German, Romanian, French, and Yiddish, Florea integrates stories of ethnic and linguistic groups—rural Ukrainians, Romanians, and Germans, and urban German-speaking Jews and Poles—who lived side by side in Bukovina, all of them navigating constant reconfiguration and reinvention. Challenging traditional chronologies in European history, she shows that different transformations in the region occurred at different tempos, creating a historical palimpsest and a sense among locals that they had lived many lives.A two-hundred-year history of a region shaped by the conflicting pulls of imperial legacies and national ambitions, Bukovina reveals the paradoxes of modern history found in a microcosm of Eastern Europe.

Historians began writing the history of the Holocaust in Yiddish from a distinctly Jewish perspective in the years immediately after World War II. These Yiddish historians studied the Holocaust from the perspective of its Jewish victims, rather than that of the Nazi perpetrators, examining daily life in the ghettos and camps, and stressing the importance of survivor testimonies, eyewitness accounts, and memoirs. Above all, they redefined “resistance” to include the many ways Jews struggled to remain alive under Nazi occupation. Mark Smith chronicles and contextualizes this largely overlooked yet significant set of scholars in his recently published work, The Yiddish Historians and the Struggle for a Jewish History of the Holocaust.

Chaim Grade was born in 1910 in Vilna, Poland. In his youth, Grade was a student of the Novaredok Musar Yeshiva and of Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz. He was also a founding member of the Yung-Vilne literary group, known for its leftist politics, secular Jewish thinking, and literary influence. After losing both his mother and wife during the Holocaust, he emerged as one of the most prolific and defining Yiddish voices in post-war literature. Besides publishing several volumes of poetry, he is best known for his two acclaimed novels, The Agunah and The Yeshiva. In early 2023, YIVO and the National Library of Israel (NLI) completed the digitization of the Papers of Chaim Grade and Inna Hecker Grade. The collection helps to illustrate Grade's literary development and impact on Yiddish literature, from his earliest poetic works written in Vilna and the Soviet Union to his prolific and accomplished prose work composed mainly in the United States. Join YIVO and NLI for a panel discussion of Grade's legacy with Ruth Wisse, Ofer Dynes, and Curt Leviant, led by scholar and translator Justin Cammy.

It's time for everyone's favorite and not at all problematic film topic: Woody Allen! Whatever you might think of the man, we would be remiss as a movie podcast about New Hollywood if we didn't take the time to discuss his seminal breakthrough masterpiece, Annie Hall. Specifically, as a part of our ongoing series on all the 70s movie icons who keep dropping like flies, we wanted to talk about what is kinda inarguably THE Diane Keaton movie. We hope you find yourself capable of enjoying this episode. Topics include: Marshall McLuhan, Godard, and who is or isn't allowed to use Yiddish.

Moshe Lobel, star of "SHTTL," a haunting Yiddish-language drama about life in a Ukrainian shtetl on the eve of the Nazi invasion, joins Eric Goldman to discuss the film.

It has long been assumed that there was no Holocaust memory in the Soviet Union. Official Soviet ideology lumped the 1.5 million Soviet Jews exterminated by the Nazis into the 26 million Soviet war deaths. So, the little Holocaust memory that existed was hidden away in families and communities. Recent scholarship, however, has painted a more complicated picture. Yes, official Holocaust memory was circumscribed. And, true, many privately commemorated its memory. But, as a new collection of Soviet Holocaust fiction, translated by Sasha Senderovich and Harriet Murav, shows that there was published Holocaust literature in the Soviet Union. Especially in the Yiddish language journal, Sovetish Heymland. How did Soviet authors treat the Holocaust? How did it differ from work elsewhere? And what are some of the challenges translating these works into English? To find out more, the Eurasian Knot spoke to Sasha and Harriet about their recent collection, In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union, published by Stanford University Press.Guests:Sasha Senderovich is Associate Professor of Slavic Languages & Literatures and of International Studies at the University of Washington. He is the author of How the Soviet Jew Was Made. Harriet Murav is Center for Advanced Study Professor Emerita at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her most recent book is As the Dust of the Earth: The Literature of Abandonment in Revolutionary Russia and Ukraine.They are the translators of In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union, published by Stanford University Press.

It just doesn't get better than this. I knew, and have known since I was 10, that Peter Noone is easy on the eyes and the ears. Meeting him recently after his show at The Canyon Club in LA, I also knew he was funny, crazy talented, nice to a fault, and charismatic as hell. What I didn't know was that Mr. Herman's Hermits, a name chosen for hysterical reasons (he ‘spains), would regale us with story after story, many previously untold (I listened to a load of his interviews today), before tonight, one more precious than the next, each told with wild enthusiasm and almost reckless, but not quite, abandon. We laughed like hell for the entire hour and forty minutes. Reading the comments on Facebook, which we couldn't see during the broadcast, so did the Live audience. There were a few technical glitches before, during, and it turns out, after, but so what! This show is a gem, a diamond in its glory, nothing rough about it… Well, the tech stuff, but who cares? It's like having the best slice of pizza and quibbling over a little dripped cheese. Peter, with his 60 million records sold, 7 gold albums, and 14 gold records, has met and has known everybody who's anybody, and I do mean everybody, and he shares juicy tales from the front, back, and side about so many of them. Friends with the Beatles, Peter's remembrances of John and Paul are priceless. Likewise, Elvis, Bowie, Mick Jagger, Eric Burdon, Leslie Gore, Graham Nash & The Hollies, The Cavern, meeting his wife at a Hendrix Concert and marrying her on his 21st birthday because… well, I let him tell you, his family foibles, the drinking, more drinking, getting sober, advice on drugging from Keith Richards, hysterical, and the creme de la creme with Richard McArthur Park Harris, worth the price of admission. There was some singing here and there, including a bissel, There's a Kind of Hush. Speaking of bissel, Peter's got more Yiddish than I do. The story of his nuptials with his French, Jewish bride in a Roman Catholic church is pure Peter. From the man who gave us, I'm Into Something Good, Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter, I'm Henry VIII, I Am, Can't You Hear My Heartbeat, Listen People, No Milk Today, we got a treasure trove of bliss. It just doesn't get better than this! Peter Noone Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson **Wed, June 3rd, 7 pm PT, 10 pm ET**

Moshe Gildenman was a civic leader and musician in a small Ukrainian town until — one day in 1942 — Nazis murdered 2,000 Jews in his village, including his wife and daughter. He escaped with his son, carrying a revolver, a handful of bullets and a Yiddish songbook. His story of resilience, resistance and revenge is told in a new book by UNC Charlotte musicologist James Grymes.

In 1940s New York, immigrant Jewish scholars sought to build a museum to commemorate their lost worlds and people. Among the Jews who arrived in the United States in the early 1940s were a small number of Polish scholars who had devoted their professional lives to the study of Europe's Yiddish-speaking Jews at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Faced with the devastating knowledge that returning to their former homes and resuming their scholarly work there was no longer viable, they sought to address their profound sense of loss by continuing their work, under radically different circumstances, to document the European Jewish lives, places, and ways of living that were being destroyed. In pursuing this daunting agenda, they decided to create a museum to memorialize East European Jewry and educate American Jews about this legacy. YIVO scholars determinedly pursued this undertaking for several years, publicizing the initiative and collecting materials to exhibit. However, the Museum of the Homes of the Past was abandoned shortly after the war ended. Homes of the Past explores this largely unknown episode of modern Jewish history and museum history and demonstrates that the project, even though it was never realized, marked a critical inflection point in the dynamic interrelations between Jews in America and Eastern Europe.

(לקבל הודעה) כיון שזה הי' סימן לקבלת מרותם, אמר באידיש, שלא יקום! אמר לו א' מהם (שהבין אידיש) שיכו אותו! ענה: נו..., עשו כך והלכו. נכנסה עוד קבוצת שוטרים וביניהם לולאוו (שהי' מגזע חסידים ומאלו שאסרו אותו) שאמר: רבי! הרי רוצים למסור לך הקלה! לא ענה. אמר: הרי יכו אותך! לא ענה. הכו אותו והלכו, וכך קרה פעם שלישית, בסוף קראו והודיעו לו שהוא משתחרר ושולחים אותו בלילה לקאסטראמא לג' שנים ויגיע לשם בשבת, אמר: בשבת הוא לא נוסע בשום אופן! נשאר א"כ בכלא עד יום א' (ג' תמוז) ואז שחררו אותו ונסע לקאסטראמא. וסיפר שר' מיכאל דווארקין הגיע שם לפניו ומיד יסד שם חדר! ההוראה: כשיהודי מחליט שכל המונעים ומעכבים הם אין ואפס, והחלטה זו לא משתנית גם כשמכים אותו כמ"פ - פועל שגם יהודי שהי' בלעו"ז מכיר בו כ"רבי", וסוכ"ס ממלא תפקידו!ב' חלקים משיחת י"ג תמוז ה'תשכ"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-05-2026 Synopsis My father-in-law related that when he was arrested, he resolved from the outset not to be intimidated at all, and to regard his oppressors as absolute nothingness. On Thursday, the first day of Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, at 11:00 in the morning, three officers entered his cell and ordered him to stand. Since standing was a sign of accepting their authority, he replied in Yiddish that he would not get up. When one of the officers told him that if he refused they would beat him, he said, “Nu…,” and they beat him and left. Then another group of officers entered, among them Lulav (one of the individuals who arrested the Rebbe, and who came from a Chassidic background). He said: “Rebbe! They want to inform you of a leniency!” When the Rebbe did not reply, he warned the Rebbe that he would be beaten, but still the Rebbe said nothing. Again, they beat him and left. This happened a third time. Finally, they summoned the Rebbe to the office and informed him that he was being released and exiled to Kostroma for three years. When they told him that he would have to leave that night and arrive in Kostroma on Shabbos, he said that under no circumstances would he travel on Shabbos, and therefore he remained in prison until Sunday (3 Tammuz). He also related that the Chassid Reb Michoel Dvorkin traveled to Kostroma before the Rebbe's arrival, and immediately established a cheder and repaired the mikveh there. The lesson is that when a Jew resolves firmly that all obstacles are absolute nothingness, and he does not depart from this resolution even when he is hit several times, the result is that even a Jew who was on the opposing side recognizes him as “Rebbe,” and ultimately fulfills his mission.2 excerpts from sichah of 13 Tammuz 5722 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-05-2026 לע"נ ר' מאיר ב"ר בנציון הלוי ע"ה וויינבוים ליום היארצייט שלו ט"ו סיון. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.‏

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. This week, we learn that famed actress and chanteuse Barbra Streisand received an honorary Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Borschel-Dan, who is reading the artist's massive memoir, calls on all podcast fans to send in the names of their favorite Streisand films for a future episode. We then turn to the monumentally Jewish movie, "A Serious Man," written, produced, edited and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen in 2009. Set in 1967 Minnesota, the film focuses on the Gopnik family: father Larry, mother Judith, kids Danny and Sarah, and uncle Arthur. On the surface, the middle-class family appears to be merrily rolling along, anticipating Danny's approaching bar mitzvah. And then everything falls apart and it becomes a very funny retelling of the Book of Job. However, before the movie takes off, the audience is treated to a quote from the great rabbinic sage Rashi and is shown a Yiddish-only shtetl ghost story short -- just... because. Stay tuned for our duo's thoughts on the much-recommended Coen brothers' film, "A Serious Man." The Reel Schmooze is produced by Ari Schlacht and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sh. An-ski (Shloyme-Zanvl Rappoport, 1863-1920) was a writer in Russian and Yiddish, a revolutionary, a wartime relief worker, and an ethnographer who studied the Jews of the Russian Empire. During his 1911-1914 expeditions to shtetls in Ukraine—he would report—he and his co-workers took 1000 photographs, recorded 1000 Yiddish songs and 1500 stories, and purchased 400 objects for a Jewish museum. The expedition also inspired An-ski to write his signature play, The Dybbuk. Although East European Jews used ethnographic tools to study themselves both before and after An-ski's expeditions, he retains an outsize status in the field of Yiddish ethnography, strongly tied to the success of his play. This talk explores the connections between An-ski's ethnographic work, his play, and the Russian politics of his era. This lecture originally took place on July 8, 2021.

Interview with Lea Koenig (ליאַ קעניג), one of Israel's most beloved stage actresses, together with Yaniv Goldberg, author of The Stage of Her Life: Conversations with Actress Lea Koenig on Theater and Her Life. The program focuses on Koenig's long career in Yiddish theater as well as Israeli Hebrew-language theater, TV and film. Born into a Yiddish theatrical family, Koenig became known internationally for her work in both Yiddish and Hebrew. Goldberg's book, published in late 2025 by Academic Studies Press of Newton, Massachusetts, grew out of years of conversations with Koenig about her life, her artistry, her Yiddish background and her central place in Israeli cultural life. Dr. Yaniv Shimon Goldberg is a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University and an expert on the Yiddish language and Jewish theater. He is also a rabbi, attorney, theater director and scholar of law and theater whose work includes research on legal issues in Yiddish drama. Goldberg’s reading of brief excerpts from his introduction to the book (in English) are interspersed at a couple of points during the interview. The interview included actors and Yiddish activists Mikhl Yashinsky and Hy Wolfe as special guest co-hosts. We did the interview on Zoom on May 6, 2026. Yaniv and Lea participated from Lea’s home in Tel Aviv; Mikhl was on tour in Australia; and Hy was at his home in New York City. This Sunday, May 31, 2026, Mikhl is leading a community read IN YIDDISH of selections from Max Spitzkopf: The Yiddish Sherlock Holmes, the book by Jonas Kreppel that he translated.

Notes: It was both an honor and illumination to meet with Sarina Partridge and Annie Schlaefer to talk about Singing Resistance (they were both in it at inception…) and learn two of the songs in the Singing Resistance Songbook – and I left feeling so much encouragement for community and relationship. Annie said, “People want to come to the streets if we're singing together.” Sarina shared her slogan: “More song circles than gas stations!” We talked about weaving the learning from one event into the next crisis you face – the wisdom of long-standing organizers who help grass-roots eco-systems evolve. The role of singing in building community, showing people what we are FOR and welcoming them in, dispelling the belief that we are powerless and isolated, easing numbness, creating a container of beauty we can be in together during these times. And these songs – soooo beautiful!   Song 1: We Belong To Each Other Words by: Nikita Gill Music by: Annie Schlaefer   Songwriter Info: Annie Schlaefer (she/her), a community song-leader, has been collecting songs and facilitating song circles for 13 years in various communities (Northern Minnesota, Maine, Wisconsin) and has more recently been co-facilitating a weekly local community song circle in Minneapolis with a dear friend, Linnea Champ, for nearly 5 years. She continues to be awed by the beautiful ways that singing together brings connection and community. She learned about this style of singing in 2012 in Decorah, Iowa from a local song-leader and now mentor, Liz Rog.    Sharing Info: Annie says: "Please freely share this song in community gathering spaces. If you want to share this song and are making a bunch of money, I would appreciate some of these funds to come my way in the form of a one-time venmo donation @Annie-Schlaefer, or by joining my Patreon as a monthly subscriber. Thank you!"   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start of teaching: 00:03:10 Start of reprise: 00:51:46   Links: Annie's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/AnnieSchlaefer  Nikita Gill: https://www.instagram.com/nikita_gill/    Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, round, major   Song 2: Grief and Love Music by: Sarina Partridge   Songwriter Info: Sarina Partridge is a musician, songleader, educator, and activist in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She feels most alive when learning, creating and sharing songs. Sarina sings with a wide variety of music projects: community song-leading; harmony-rich original music with folk trio Heartwood; and performing and teaching of Eastern European and Yiddish song.  Sarina has a passion for connecting people with their own creativity and with community, and uses singing as a modality to help folks develop a sense of wonder and belonging in this wild world   Sharing Info: Sarina says: "Please sing the song with your group! You can buy sheet music for it through my website (link below). If you'd like to have tracks of the separated harmony layers, please contact me. One meaningful way to support me is to join me on patreon for whatever monthly donation amount feels right to you. I post a new song - with separated out tracks for harmony parts, lyrics, the story of the song - on patreon every other week.

À l'occasion de la 3ème édition du festival Sacré Sound, #SessionLive autour de la création Ima Yemma + famille Rabbath.  François Rabbath est un contrebassiste franco-syrien de renom, qui a porté son instrument auprès des plus grands noms de la chanson française, Barbara, Aznavour, Paco Ibanez, Edith Piaf. Son fils Sylvain, alias HabibiSly, pianiste voyageur formé au fil des tournées internationales de son père, perpétue et enrichit cet héritage en duo avec lui. Les compositions, nourries d'ambiances et de paysages glanés en chemin, offrent un souffle épique et une profondeur rare où la contrebasse de François se fait guide et le piano de Sylvain compagnon de route. Avec AMALL, père et fils signent une œuvre à la fois intime et universelle. Guest concert du 26 mai au Couvent des Récollets : Minino Garay. Pour la #SessionLive, le duo invite la chanteuse syrienne Lynn Adib (Bedouin Burger) Puis, en exclu, une idée de la création Ima Yemma Orchestra - Entre New York, Paris, Alger, Tanger Chaâbi d'Alger, Groove Gnawa et Soul Yiddish, pour faire danser et célébrer la joie d'être ensemble. Ima, Yemma... Maman, en hébreu et en arabe, les sons des mots sont si proches. Cet orchestre n'est pas composé de juifs ou de musulmans, mais d'artistes frères et sœurs qui rendent un vibrant hommage aux mères. Un hommage à toutes les mamans mais aussi à toutes celles à venir. ​Au présent, le IMA YEMMA ORCHESTRA vous propose une fête, de la danse, de la musique du monde entier. La soul Yiddish et Juive New Yorkaise va rencontrer le Chaabi d'Alger et le groove Gnawa marocain. Un espace rêvé où les croisements de langues seront des surprises, des rimes, où les instruments de toutes ces traditions se marient en un seul son.

How might we be inspired by a worldwide community of Yiddish-speaking Jews, whose cultural identity was broadly internationalist?David Mazower is the author of Yiddish: A Global Culture, which accompanies an exhibit he curated at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts.Our conversation explores the heritage and influence of Yiddish – the everyday language of East European Jews, which became a diaspora lingua franca and the medium for bold creativity, from avant-garde art and subversive writing to radical politics that shaped socialist and anarchist movements.David's great-grandfather, Sholem Asch, was a pioneering Yiddishist writer and another of his ancestors – his father's father Max – was a revolutionary in tsarist Russia, becoming involved with a socialist party called the Bund, whose deeply humanistic perspective has since been marginalised.As David observes, the impact of the Bund is now the focus of a book by Molly Crabapple (titled Here Where We Live is Our Country). And an outing of London Bundists from the early 1900s features on the cover of David's book.Before joining the Yiddish Book Center as its research bibliographer and editorial director, David was a senior journalist with BBC World News and deputy curator of the Jewish Museum London. He writes for a range of publications on topics from Yiddish theatre and popular culture to British Jewish history.Selected highlights from the exhibit that accompanies his book are available here. There's also a digital guide via the Bloomberg Connects app (see here for details).--

The question of origins is often difficult to study because originators do not always leave a paper trail. Therefore, uncovering origins can be challenging – and the story of the background of Yiddish-speaking Jews in Eastern Europe is no exception. It is complicated by the fact that in the recent past the Jewish population of the area was in the millions and it is not obvious where they came from. It is tempting for some to see them as having come from the Rhineland in search of safety and security but there are many reasons to be dubious about this. What is much more likely, as we shall see, is that the basis for the Yiddish-speaking Jewish population of Eastern Europe was the Jewish population of what is now the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria. They came in dribs and drabs because of economic pressures. We will examine various pieces of evidence that support this picture. While not dramatic, it was pragmatic and successful. Economic changes in the Polish-Lithuanian lands offered new opportunities to Jews and this in turn, led to conditions of rapid population growth – rapid enough to create a massive population within several centuries.

The Yiddish word Aibershter, literally meaning The Highest One, is the term used by Yiddish speaking Jews for hundreds of years when speaking of the Creator. This meditation dives into the letters of the Hebrew word with the same meaning - Elyon - עליון - and guides the listener to connect with one's own deeply personal relationship and connection with the Highest One, the One in constant control of everything that exists.   Words used in this meditation: Der Aibershter - The Highest One in Yiddish Elyon - עליון - Highest One Al - על - Above   Music Credits: PowerThoughts Meditation Club - 528Hz - Whole Body Regeneration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdmvMc7TZn0 Meditations & Affirmations - Morning Meditation Music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYDoXnyFr14 Self Care - Lee Rosevere - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn_gF0v0sW4

What I really want to get at is that the way the tribes or indigenous cultures regard these medicines is through community, song, prayer, connection to nature, reciprocity, those are all values that even the clinical world can borrow and emulate as they design their trials." –Madison MargolinAbout Madison Margolin:Madison is an author and journalist who straddles California, New York, and the Israel-Palestine region, with a focus on psychedelics, cannabis, and Judaism — jokingly referring to it as “Jews & Drugs.” Her reporting also spans culture, policy, and science.

We remember conductor, composer and musician Michael Tilson Thomas, who died April 22 at age 81. He was a longtime music director of The San Francisco Symphony, known for his innovation, his ability to translate classical music for the general public, and for fostering contemporary music. He founded the New World Symphony for young players. He got his musical inheritance from his grandparents, who were stars of the Yiddish theatre. When he was a kid, his grandmother took him on stage and pointed up to the last row in the balcony, telling him: “Up there are the cheapest seats and in those seats are the people who love the show the most. Whatever you're doing you must remember that it must reach those people.” He spoke with Terry Gross in 1994 and 2012. John Powers reviews ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2.'See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
