Idol Worship

Yoni and Judy delve into a menagerie of topics, including but not limited to: David, from the Bible, David, from Survivor 48, Judy's bat mitzvah theme, a rising Star, "Making Survivor Great Again," Yoni's failure to make it into the Jewish safety group chat, kiki/bouba, and a dastardly rock-related epidemic in Yoni's hometown.

Keep an eye out for guests coming soon...

Yoni and Judy cover a wide range of hot-button issues as they break down the emotional action from Episode 5 of Survivor 48, including the potential for Survivor to serve as a cure to the male loneliness epidemic and the contemporary Jewish approach to the "oppression Olympics." Our beloved hosts then flex their knowledge of the structure of the Torah, and show ignorance regarding the First Gulf War. They close with some Season 50 tidings and White Lotus/Survivor comps. Enjoy!

Yoni and Judy are back from their rejuvenating spring breaks to talk about the weekly goings-on in Fiji. It's tribe swap week, which of course means Idol Worship is theorizing about why Survivor is appealing to Jewish audiences, who won the contested 2000 Presidential Election, and what horrors might next befall Columbia. Then, Yoni and Judy drop some flaming hot takes on a new round of Survivor 50 voting and model respectful disagreement.

Yoni and Judy make their triumphant return to their mics to break down Episodes 2 and 3 of Survivor Season 48.

Audiences of all ages are sure to enjoy their lively debate about the merits of idol worship and the higher audio quality of their mics.

And...look out for new Idol Worship social media accounts coming soon!

Judy and Yoni recap the premiere of Survivor 48 and delve into some riveting topics such as Numbers (the mathematical symbols, not the book of the Hebrew Bible) and Holes (the 2003 film, not the body cavities). They also utilize their constitutional rights to vote for different aspects of Survivor 50 (https://www.survivor50cbs.votenow.tv/ ). This is not an official endorsement of the anti-final-four-fire-making lobby... or is it?

Judy and Yoni introduce themselves, explain the show's name and origin story, share some watertight words of Torah, and tease some exciting potential guests (Stephen Fishbach!? Brian Cohen!? Jeff Probst!?).

They then delve into the Survivor 48 cast list, debating the relative Jewishness of each cast member based on interview answers, and let us know what to expect from the upcoming season.
