It’s Thursday, and you know what that means: a new episode of Unorthodox! On this week’s show, a dolphin accused of being an Israeli spy, the world’s oldest Jewish person dies at 114, and a sobering, if informative, discussion of a Palestinian prisoner’s 60-day hunger strike. And that’s just the first 10 minutes.
Our Jewish guest is Jason Zinoman, who as we quickly learn has the greatest job in the world—he’s the first-ever comedy critic for the The New York Times. He talks Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, and his theory about the new era of Jewish comedy (captured perfectly, he explains, in a Yom Kippur break fast scene in Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner’s new show, Difficult People.)
