Gentiles and Jews interrupt each other over booze. Ep. 120

This week, we welcome, for the second time, Stephanie Butnick and
Liel Leibovitz, two-thirds of the Jewish podcast, “Unorthodox.”
They just published an amazing new book, The Newish Jewish
Encyclopedia: From Abraham to Zabar’s and Everything in Between. We
talk to them about Jewdar, Chinese food and Christmas, Drake,
Thanksgivuhkuh and other fascinating entries in the book! In Signs
of the Times, Pope Francis urges us to ask: “Do I, a Christian,
have at least one poor person as a friend?” And he considers
updating the Catechism to include “ecological sins.” In our third
and last story, we discuss a new study from the Pew Research Center
that analyzes how American adults feel about the relationship
between religion and politics. Feel free to send us your questions,
concerns, cocktail recipes or join us for discussion on Facebook
and follow us on Twitter. You can help other listeners find the
show by leaving us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts! If you’re
not doing so already, please consider supporting us on Patreon,
where we have started a newsletter exclusively for Patrons! Stay
tuned for things like .gifs from Ashley, advice requests from Zac
or book recommendations from Olga. Thank you to those already
supporting us. We would not be able to do this without you. P.S.
America Media will be launching a new podcast next month called
“Plague: Untold Stories of AIDS and the Catholic Church,” hosted by
our national correspondent, Michael O’Loughlin. The first episode
premieres on Dec. 1, World AIDS Day. Please visit the show’s page
or wherever you listen to podcasts and listen to the trailer and
