Getting to Know Jew
Hosted by Getting To Know Jew · EN
Ryan Metcalfe (not a Jew) and Gilli Apter (pretty Jewish) attempt to break down stereotypes about Jewish culture, trying to understand why they exist at all. It's everything you always wanted to know about modern Jewry but were too afraid to ask. From big noses to the money thing to bacon - what's the deal there really? No stone is left unturned.

Transcribe →14. Wet Pants and Nasty Words
Feb 7, 201800:29:57Tap to summarizeWell, we start with some lovely podcast banter, as podcasters do. If you're like us and you can't stand podcast banter then skip forward ten minutes and you'll find Gilli in an awkward (maaaaybe) racist situation. Is it racist if you're only a little bit racist? When is it OK to get mad at fractionally racist people? Is Gilli a racist? Is anyone not a racist?!Get in touch: gettingtoknowyou@gmail.comTickets for The Kings and Queens of Comedy: https://online.computicket.com/web/event/kings_and_queens_of_comedy/1187574615/0/83835476
