I’m very honored to be on the great Jesse Thorn’s list of podcasts he listens to. Also, he’s right in that there are fewer people more Jewish than me. Fyvush Finkel can seriously go fuck himself if he disagrees.
What podcasts do you subscribe to, Jesse?
Folks are always asking me about my podcast subscriptions, so I thought I’d share what I’m subscribed to right now. This varies a fair amount over time, and I get a good bit of variety using Huffduffer, which allows me to create an Instapaper-like podcast feed of audio I find on the web, but these are the standbys.

Julie Klausner, the host of How Was Your Week, is really different from me. She is very East Coast. Very lady-like. Very Jewish. Very into gay stuff. I am none of these things.
However, Julie is also brilliant and hilarious, and it’s always a joy to check in with her and her wonderful guests. I don’t have the camp gene, and I can’t enjoy Real Housewives or whatever, but I can laugh at Julie’s perfect descriptions of some event on the show. Her guests aren’t the guests I hear elsewhere, and her conversations are funny and interesting. And smart. Julie’s not afraid to be smart. Which is great.
