    For the season one finale, I'm joined by Abbey Hansell-Baumgarten to discuss Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's 1990 novel Good Omens (along with the 2019 Amazon Prime TV adaptation). We talk all about Judaism's take on free will and morality, cover a little more of the Jewish view of the afterlife, and share our thoughts on the importance of community.

    On this episode, Rabbi Andrea Goldstein and I discuss the similarities between Jewish ethics and those that drive NBC comedy The Good Place, plus why Jews probably didn’t really guess about 5% - but that all depends on who you ask.

    This week, my fellow Whovian Rabbi Lori Levine joins me to talk about my favorite-ever TV show, BBC’s Doctor Who. The sci-fi phenomenon may not look Jewish on the surface, but it’s been teaching Talmudic lessons since its first airing over fifty years ago.

    Rabbi Rachel Bearman joins me on this episode about (mostly) canonically Jewish characters in superhero media. We talk about their history, how they’re written, and why having Jewish characters - and representation in general - is so important.

    Blogger and cosplayer Bay joins me on the very first episode of They Made It Out of Clay to discuss the Jewish origins of American superheroes. We talk about everything from Superman's not-so-secret Jewish identity to Jack Kirby's willingness to fistfight Nazis to our personal feelings on the 2016 Captain America H.Y.D.R.A. reveal.
