3 mishnayot on things that can come between courtyards and change the need for eruvin: 1. A ditch between two courtyards. The Gemara delves into the authority behind the mishnah's psak, and also attempts a comparison and then rejects it. 2. A haystack that is between 2 courtyards that is 10 tefachim high functions as a partition, until the livestock from either/both courtyards reduce it to lower than 10 tefachim high. 3. Establishing an eruv in an alleyway that runs by courtyards - how to do it? Use a barrel full of food and make it "everyone's." That gives them the common interest cooperative. But how do all those people accept the food in the barrel if they aren't there at that moment? "Zakin le-adam shelo be-fanav." A formal act of acquisition on behalf of someone else, which itself can only be performed by some people, but not all. Including making an eruv for a city. Plus: Pompedita.

This week on the podcast: Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin, co-founders and co-CEOs of the Skimm. Their core product? The Daily Skimm, a newsletter targeting millennial women that keeps you up to date on what's happening in the world. They didn't invent the daily newsletter by a long shot, but Weisberg and Zakin are working the kind of magic with it that should make every media executive in the world sit up and take notice. Here's a little context: The New York Times announced recently that it has 13 million subscriptions to its 50 newsletters. Weisberg and Zakin have 5 million subscribers who open their one newsletter multiple times per week. I caught up with Carly and Danielle at The Skimm's headquarters on 23rd Street in Manhattan, to talk about their journey as business partners and friends, the roots of their entrepreneurial drive, and today's unique challenges for women in the startup game.

Shortly after the original interview was recorded Zakin called up Jay and requested that we do a follow-up interview to discuss some things that we failed to mention during the first session. We discuss a lot of advice for anyone looking to enter the film/tv business as well as the internship program at The Director's Bureau (Roman Coppola's production company). It's a short talk but lots of gems in there. Michael Zakin started off as Set PA on Beverly Hills 90210. It was there that he caught the bug and joined the circus. Before long he was producing music videos with some of the best bands and directors in the world at Virgin Records. The bubble burst in the music video industry leaving few unscathed but Zakin survived and has been serving a long residency at American Zoetrope as the VP of Film Production. American Zoetrope was founded by Francis Ford Coppola in 1969 and has produced countless classic films since. While at Zoetrope Zakin produced "Life After Beth", "The Bling Ring", "Mozart in the Jungle" as well the upcoming "A Very Murray Christmas" (Starring Bill Murray and Directed by Sofia Coppola) and "Bonjour Anne" (Eleanor Coppola's directorial debut). You can't find a more honest, trustworthy and talented Producer than Michael Zakin.
