March 15, 2022 ASK A JEW (15): Ashke-Normative
Chaya Leah tells the tale of how she and her girlfriends traveled around the country in a van solving mysteries with a dog... or that might be Scooby Doo. But the part about traveling around the country with a van full of Jews is true! Also, Yael tries to compliment the Rebbe but ends up offending him (of course) by comparing him to the pope.
Bonus content: Purim, Brad Pitt, diets, and an accidentally deep conversation towards the end about the F word (feminism)

Trigger warning: You may never again be able to eat Hamentschen after this episode.Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.com

February 07, 2022 Ask A Jew (10): The Goy is Mine
The girls forgive Whoopi Goldberg for her dumb remark, but not for scarring Chaya Leah’s childhood on the movie Ghost. They also pray for a week without Jews in the news, answer a listener question about how to woo a Hasidic landlord, and discuss the least Jewish topic in the world: the Winter Olympics.

January 11, 2022 Ask a Jew: 210% Ashkanazi Jews (7)
Yael and Chaya Leah welcome Bill Schulz, who walks like a Jew, talks like a Jew, but is actually some type of Catholic.
The trio compare various percentages of Ashkenazi blood, ask Bill for dating advice (which is kind of like asking Chaya Leah for help picking a country club) and ponder the merits of children, friendships, and breaking out of Yeshiva.Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.com

Chaya Leah is hung over in Vegas while Yael is nursing her COVID (or is it the other way around?), and talk New Year's resolutions, favorite books of 2021, and fawn over the two great minds, Christopher Hitchens and that guy that was married to Reese Witherspoon.
