This week on Unorthodox, we’re coming at you live from the JCC Manhattan with two great guests, an audience-wide game of Jewish geography, and much more.
Our Jewish guest is writer A.J. Jacobs, who holds the special distinction of being our first-ever guest back in 2015. He returns with his new book, It’s All Relative: Adventures Up and Down the World’s Family Tree, about his unlikely entry into the world of genealogy, culminating with his attempt to throw the world’s largest family reunion. He tells us about the famous—and infamous—relatives he discovered, the lessons he hopes his kids learn from his project, and, in a Maury-style twist, reveals which hosts are related to him.
