S1 E5: Antisemitism and Homophobia Within The Beatles
In this thought-provoking episode of Storied, host Benji Rosenzweig sits down with actor, filmmaker, and activist Yuval David for a wide-ranging conversation that explores the intersection of pop culture, identity, and advocacy. From the Beatles’ subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) brushes with antisemitism and homophobia to the role of comedy in confronting hate, this episode examines how cultural icons shape — and reflect — social narratives. Yuval shares insights from his work as an LGBTQ+ and Jewish activist, offering a compelling take on when a joke crosses the line and how communities can respond with resilience.
