I stumbled upon this podcast a couple years ago and was intrigued that Joshua Malina was on it. I am also a parasha geek and it was another way to keep up with the weekly Torah portion. I wasn’t sure about this new format - answering listener questions. I have been won over. I love the Hanna...Read full review »

I was nervous about the relaunch, but this is easily the best Jewish podcast I listen to. I adore the new format of listener questions, and the wonderfully thoughtful responses every week. Thank you!

I know a lot of people probably started listening to the show because I’d Josh Molina and I loved that version too but I’m actually really enjoying the Q&A format and everything Hannah brings! And as always, Rabbi Shira brings so much wisdom, makes Judaism feel both accessible and also...Read full review »

Hanna is such a great addition. Her rapport with Shira is terrific, and I love the listener Q&A

New listener here. I was looking for something supportive during this hard time and downloaded this podcast. Within the first five minutes of listening, I knew I was in the wrong place. I agreed more with a critical letter sent by another listener and directed at the two hosts. Perhaps the hosts...Read full review »

Dear Rabbi Can you convince Joshua to continue being part of your podcast. I teared up as you blessed him on the last episode. I think I was sad that he is leaving. I can’t imagine it without him. Nor can I say I’ll continue listening without Mr. Malina’s involvement. Karen F., Needham,MA

I’ve been loving this show, because of what I learn from it and because of the dynamic synergy between Josh and Rabbi. I really hope it returns but it will not be the same without Josh’s quick wit, broad Jewish knowledge and wacky energy. Rabbi Shira is wonderful too, but together, wow, they have...Read full review »

I’m not Jewish but I love this podcast. I’ve learned so much about the Jewish faith. Thank you for making something that’s both enlightening and entertaining.
ProudTVJunkie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/23
I absolutely love this podcast which is at once accessible and insightful. It’s great accompaniment while making challah, hamantaschen or whatever you’re prepping for Shabbos. Kol ha’kavod!
ChileMama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/23
Listening to the new ep of this podcast every Friday while cleaning my house for Shabbat is one of the highlights of my week, every week. Thank you Joshua and Rabbi Shira!!!

Love the podcast-bringing the Torah to life, showing how relevant the words are to our lives. The rabbi and actor-great together. Thanks.

I started listening to this show about 10 days ago, 1/21/23 and found the content to be extremely interesting, funny, knowledgeable, in lighting, uplifting and revenant. I’m 47 years old, reform Jew in Michigan, I have two boys, 10 and 14, my 14 year old celebrated his Bar Mitzvah last January,...Read full review »

I love that I learn so much listening to this podcast. It gives me more perspective and changes how I see the world all while making me laugh.
MatilynKay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/23
Josh Malina is the Jewish father I already have. And rabbi Shira is an inspiration to this aspiring rabbi.
GonzoBabins via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/06/23
As I live in a remote location that has a Rabbi visit us only monthly, I have come to rely and completely enjoy this pod cast. Between the learning provided by Rabbi Shira, the humor from Josh makes this both educational, spiritual, and humorous. Worthwhile!
Cary A G via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/23
I’m not Jewish, just a big religion nerd and Joshua Malina fan. This podcast has deepened my understanding of my own religious texts, and the beliefs of my Jewish friends and neighbors. I have become better at my job as a Lutheran Christian Educator by listening to a Jewish podcast. If only we...Read full review »

R. Shira and Josh do a wonderful job addressing the weekly Torah portion and other relevant topics to Jews and truly anyone concerned with the bigger questions of life. Very often deeply insightful and always humorous, their back and forth banter is a weekly delight. And their interviews are...Read full review »

I consume a lot of Jewish content, and Chutzpod has become one of my favorites. I always learn something, and I always laugh. Thank you for bringing me into the conversation each week. Shavua tov!

Josh’s humor throws me off the topic.

Enjoyable, informative and fun!
Apkintter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/22
This is a perfect podcast: serious news combined with both humor and Torah through a contemporary lens. Thank you, rabbi shira and josh!

I am not Jewish and I love this podcast. It fills me laughter and a spiritual connection that I haven’t found anywhere else
L.A. 416 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/22/22
I mostly love this podcast very much. It’s funny and thoughtful and educational and irreverent, all at the right amount. But I was very out off by the conversation about Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haazmaut. To be clear, the guests were incredible and their insights and perspectives are important. But...Read full review »

This has become my favorite way to start Fridays! Funny, informative and great guest speakers. The opening song just puts a smile on my face. The wise cracking between hosts brings a light to a sometimes rough week. Really appreciate you both!
truegriffinforever via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/22
Having loved “The West Wing Weekly”, and knowing the quality of conversation I could expect, I dived right into this podcast even though I am as goyish as it gets. I have to admit I know little about Judaism (beyond what I learned from Christian Old Testament when I was a kid at a UCC church), so...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of podcasts spanning a wide range of interests and began listening to Chutzpod on day one. It’s now my favorite. The combination of wit, wisdom, topics, and guests hits all the right notes. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be enlightened. And it’s free ❣️
Nosleba via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/22
Love the host’s viewpoints and it’s HILARIOUS! Had to get out my copy of “Serious Man” and consult the glossary of Yiddish terms in the jacket to take it all in.
paul from The Park via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/22
I love this podcast and I look forward to listening to it every Friday. It’s funny, thoughtful, and engaging.
16mads via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/22
I enjoy both the breadth and depth of the podcast. Rabbi Shira is, well, a Rabbi, complete with the knowledge and the teaching mindset that go with it. Josh is intelligent and articulate and pretty darn knowledgeable himself. (He did attend a yeshiva as a child, before he went to Yale). I just...Read full review »

I’m a potential convert and trying to learn as much as can. I’m so happy every time I see a new episode! The hosts of this podcast are so down to earth and welcoming.
Lulila22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/22
Each week I look forward to listening to Chutzpod - it’s entertaining, informative, and has become a new tradition to listen and catch-up each Friday as I prep for Shabbat. I love how accessible it is, while still being both thoughtful and engaging.
Like-the-State via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/22
Entertaining, thought provoking, and worth listening too!

It’s pretty good and it’s free.

Seriously, though, I look forward to each week’s episode. This podcast represents everything I love about Judaism.

Not too long, a balance of serious, intellectual, quirky, and fun. As a bonus I’m a fan of the west wing. Great guests too.

Great balance of humor and meaningful conversation. I look forward to listening every week.

I’m not Jewish - I’m not religious at all, but this pod is a joy. It’s wonderful to hear historical takes on the Torah and the contemporary application. Josh & Shira are delightful and though he’d like to be known as a curmudgeon, Josh is actually a joyful, playful optimist. I love the...Read full review »

I’ve learned quite a bit listening to this podcast. It does seem to lean quite heavily to reformed Judaism. Josh is terrific and I’ve enjoyed his comments and participation very much. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the Rabbi.
fed up in MI. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/22
I love Rabbi Shira and Josh’s ability to share so much in a relatively short time. Every episode has given me something to think abiout.
Red Raven617 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/22
It’s fun, light hearted, and deep all at the same time. Great mix and nice way to connect with Judaism these days
