Episode 1: Laying the Foundation

Episode 2: We're So Back!

Mira and Rebecca return after a period of rest and recalibration! In this episode we first share updates from our personal and creative lives and some new day to day kvetches. Then we dive right into the hard topics including Trump's Iran delusion, Israel's death penalty law, and an exploration of the role antisemitism plays in obscuring systems of Imperialist harm. Stay tuned for more! Thank you to our amazing editor Eli Gerzon and theme song artist Andrew Levin!

Episode 1: Laying the Foundation

In the inaugural episode of Tsuris and Soul, recorded earlier in December, Rebecca and Mira introduce themselves, unpack the meaning and etymology behind the podcast's name, and set intentions for this season. Season 1 will explore how conflict is showing up in Jewish life right now—internally and externally—and how conversations meant to grapple with harm, accountability, and care are frequently shut down, distorted, or weaponized. Episode one lays the foundation for Tsuris and Soul: a podcast committed to multiplicity, brave conversation, and the radical possibility that disentangling what hurts can be an act of collective liberation.
