Tinder and Palantir Are Connected? with Jean-Paul Fartre

Orli Matlow sits down with organizer and creator Jean-Paul Fartre [https://www.instagram.com/jeanpaul_fartre_/] for a conversation that’s more political philosophy than flatulence. Professor Fartre reveals the connection between dating apps and the post-9/11 War on Terror, because they're even worse than we thought. He shares his experiences teaching in San Quentin State Prison, and the differences between socialist organizing in The Philippines and the United States. They talk dialectics, how discussing American military dominance can help fight antisemitism, and JP makes the most enthusiastic case for revolutionary optimism yet.  Recorded while Trump’s Memorandum of Understanding with Iran was technically still Memorandum of Understanding-ing.  Get involved with No Casino in Flushing Meadows Corona Park: Website [https://www.savefmcp.org/%20] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nocasinofmcp/] Get involved with No Brooklyn Jail: Website [https://nobrooklynjail.org/%20] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nobrooklynjail/] Follow Jean-Paul Fartre: Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/jeanpaul_fartre_/] TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@goofsgoofin] Follow Orli: Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/hiremeimfunny/] TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@hiremeimfunny] Website [https://www.orlimatlow.com/] Theme music by This Revolution Production Collective.

The Torah Is Political? with Rabbi Jill Jacobs, T'ruah

Orli Matlow sits down Rabbi Jill Jacobs, the CEO of T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights [https://truah.org/], an organization that trains and mobilizes rabbis and cantors and their communities to bring a moral voice to protecting and advancing human rights in North America, Israel, and the occupied Palestinian territories. They discuss Truah’s decision to host Mayor Zohran Mamdani at their gala rather than declare him “an enemy of the Jewish people” (like a certain chair of UJA Federation did), and how that rhetoric does not help the Jewish community. Rabbi Jacobs shares her vision for a New York Jewish Parade [https://www.jta.org/2026/05/27/ideas/jewish-new-york-deserves-a-parade-as-diverse-as-its-communities] to replace the Israel Day Parade, reflects on T'ruah’s work defending immigrants, and reveals her favorite niche tractate of Talmud.  Note: Recorded BC (Before Championship).

London Is A Jewish City? with Historian Joseph Finlay

Orli Matlow sits down with British Jewish historian, writer, and musician Joseph Finlay [https://josephfinlay.com/], who passionately argues against her claim from the Amsterdam episode [https://youtu.be/8cV77G7kc84?si=ZSARIcSE4ovVnAFC] that “London is like NYC for goyim.” They explore the rich Jewish history of London, which was one of socialism and anarchism up until Thatcherism. They discuss the anti-fascist resistance of the 1936 Battle of Cable Street, which was recently co-opted by the Zionist Right in response to a protest against West Bank settlement sales. They talk about British Jewish heroes like Oliver!’s Lionel Bart and British Jewish villains like Lord Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks—and the contradictions of a “Rabbi Lord.” Joseph breaks down philo-semitism, a phenomenon that endangers Jews while mainstream institutions cheer it on.
