Bobs Your Uncle Podcast

Jimmy White was born in racist Rhodesia and suffered there and in New Zealand, and even here in Australia. He became a sportsman in sprinting and football, and now golf. Tiger is his favourite golfer. But not his #1 hero.  Learn about the Rhodesian Bush War here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesian_Bush_War
Here's a photo of Jimmy on the golf course:

Back in 2011, Bob met Bennett Arron at the Canon's Gate pub in Edinburgh at the Fringe Festival. Their connection about religion became the fodder for Bennett's opening gigs that same month. They have kept in touch over the years. The Guardian calls Bennett the Welsh Seinfeld, for his comedy writing and presentations. 

Bennett also is known for having his identity stolen back about 1999, and for the troubles that caused him and his wife.  He is a featured speaker worldwide in conferences on this subject. 
His website is bennettarron.com and lists his books and many other features.
Here's our photo from 2011:

Join Bob Mendelsohn and his guest Miranda Weiss in Berlin, Germany,  in talking about the war in Ukraine just now, as well as the relationship between Germany and the modern Jews who have migrated there since the end of WWII. Miranda lived in the USA, Israel, and Australia before Germany. She's a mother of three and a very expressive 30-something woman of the world.  it's a lot of fun.  She mentions the brass plates all around the city, and they are featured in the book about Berlin's Hollow Homes here. The book is on sale from Uncle Bob's bookshop in Australia.
