“Been binging the podcast all day. Really brings a sensitive and serious issue to life with humor and insights. It is well produced and dramatizes unique aspects of history. Particularly found the episode on Spielberg interesting not just for the juxtaposition between Jurassic Park and Schindler...”Read full review »

“The other reviewer is on point, interesting topics but what on earth is going on with this host? Please, get someone else and whilst you’re there stop with the over production. There is no need for music. I just spent an episode being shouted & rambled at so why torture me even more with the...”Read full review »

“Dara Horn does a tremendous job in covering this subject. There’s an incredible dark humor and cutting truth to her new podcast and book, “People Love Dead Jews.” Many in the world are shameful, as to whether or not they are willing to confront the truth in their own hearts and thoughts as to how...”Read full review »

Not many authors can take their impeccable writing skills and translate those to verbal narration. Dara Horn harnesses...”Read full review »

“As my friend Walter Sobchak says “3000 years of beautiful traditions from Moses to Sandy Kofax”.
Dara Horn tells some great tales of amazing real life Jews. If only Dara could have been my Hebrew School teacher, I may have not gotten thrown out of class like I was back in the day. Only have two...”Read full review »

“Would love to listen to this, but the host’s overly affected narration is too grating. It’s also over-produced with excessive use of music, which, rather than set tone and mood, simply distracts. Content I’d like to consume, but too over-egged.”

“You highlight the twisted carnival humor of history .
And you are like a fun house mirror but instead of distorting you point out the distortions of polite homogenized history.”

“I picked up Dara Horn’s book “People Love Dead Jews” and could not put it down. She is brilliant in reassessing how we talk and teach about Jews, anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust.

“Thank you, Dara Horn, for making this podcast filled with stories about film, history, Yiddish literature, and, remarkably not so devastatingly- dead Jews. Just so incredibly witty and smart and interesting with a basis of humanity and a sprinkle of just the right amount of sarcasm. My favorite!”
