For a lot of Jews, the Holocaust seems to be the defining aspect of peoples Jewishness. In today’s episode, I am joined by three Jews, each living in different generations. Through their stories, relationships, beliefs, etc, I hope to explore the role the Holocaust plays in one’s Jewish identity and how (if at all) this has changed throughout generations of American Jews. After my conversations, it is clear to me that despite the temporally distant nature of the Holocaust, the event is still very relevant to many Jewish Americans.

The guest of today's episode is my (other) brother, Maceo Hertz-Velázquez. LA-born student, musician, and vegan, Maceo is currently a first year at the University of CT majoring in Evolutionary Biology. Maceo spends his free time doing research on nutrition, fitness, veganism, and quite literally everything in between. During today's conversation,  Maceo and I dive into his journey to veganism, the paradox on our plates, and the imposter syndrome he feels within the vegan community, and white veganism, among many other things!

In today’s episode, I talk about spaces, in particular public spaces, thinking about what they are, what they do, and who they are really for. 

This episode is inspired by my course this semester called "Queer-Feminist-Antiracism and Design for the Future" at MIT. I was tasked with the assignment of coming up with a project centering around intersectional design operating under queer-feminist-antiracist frameworks in some capacity. The question that I (attempt) to answer: How are public spaces reflecting individual community needs, grounded in ethno-racial, socio-historical, geographical contexts? I use The Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Campus Center as a specific space I am familiar with to discuss large conversations surrounding public spaces.

The incredible Marglucy is back with her wealth of knowledge, but this time we are recording over the phone, not in a dorm room. Marglucy aka Maggie aka the face of @wowmelanin fuels her days with homemade chapati, lots of 6lack and Khalid, hours on facetime with the people she cares about, and stunning makeovers. In this episode, Maggie shares what colorism is and the toxic prevalence it carries in her (our) everyday life. Because I can no longer walk down a flight of stairs to get to her dorm room, I miss her and can’t wait for you all to listen to this interview.

Welcome to a rare episode of casual conversation sustained through delicious red wine
with Maayan: my cousin, my best friend, and my role model... often also someone who I take my anger out on. In quarantine (and just generally) you can find her listening to music, cracking her knuckles, subconciously memorizing facts about celebrities, and talking to the people she loves. In the episode, we discuss everything from what it's like kinda living together to how she feels about being in a sorority, and lots more in between.

This episode features tid bits of me speaking both in a bedroom and in a car (while it's raining). Among other many non sequiturs, I fill the episode talking about how much I love watermelon, anti-semitism versus racism, and the mystifying notion of innocence.

Welcome back to Ineffable Goodness. I took some time off to reflect on my goals for the podcast and the platform I want it to be. It felt and in part still feel like it is trivial posting episodes given the numerous pandemics we are swimming in. Not knowing where to begin, I gave the mic to my 9-year-old brother—because he always has something to say. Today's episode alternates between my brother and I, concluding with his 'hard to dig out' ineffable goodness.
