In this episode, Nachi sits down for an open conversation with his father, one of the pioneers of Jewish religious radio in the United States. They revisit the early days at a college station in New Jersey, talk about the world of Yiddish journalism and radio, and reflect on how writing and broadcasting once shaped an entire community.

Throughout the conversation, rare anecdotes emerge about interviews with Shlomo Carlebach and Rabbi Meir Kahane, a story about songs born on the subway and recorded into an answering machine, thoughts on the power of Jewish media then and now, and the grandfather’s choice to be buried on Har HaZeitim as a message to future generations about what truly matters.
