“I have finally caught up after discovering this podcast at the end of 2022 and powering through over 400 episodes since then. There is an amazing range of topics covered, the hosts are trailblazers, and the guests are always engaging and well-informed. Each theme that is discussed is covered from...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast but found this episode deeply disparaging of rabbis and even the Jewish tradition. I thought you could have addressed the topic with more love and nuance. Disappointing”

“I struggle with the connective feelings I long for from faith. This pod and the huge collection of conversations help me keep the big questions in the front of mind, and I deeply appreciate the eagerness to wrestle with topics in the grey area of life.”

“As a “Jewishly inclined” person who has hesitated to formally convert only because of my less-than-traditional ideas, this podcast has taught me so much and helped me see that yes, there is ample room for divergent thinkers within Judaism. I am indebted to the Judaism Unbound team (and guests!)...”Read full review »

“I found Judaism Unbound a couple years ago and have been desperately trying to catch up since then, I wish I had known about it sooner. Not because I am behind, but because it brings so much life and vibrancy to my thinking on such a broad range of topics and ways of being in the world. I notice...”Read full review »

“I have danced around the idea of Judaism/converting for years. It’s never been completely earnest, in all honesty. Nevertheless, my curiosity has been on the upslope as of late, and then..this. I inadvertently listened to episode 300, and in walks my aha moment. I wasn’t looking for this class or...”Read full review »

“I’ve had negative family experiences related to Judaism. I’ve had family members tell me I was too Jewish and others reject me for being not being Jewish enough. As a 47 year old man, I still feel very anxious around my identity. But this podcast highlights that I’m not alone. Thank you.”

“Judaism Unbound is a weekly two-host talk show on religious topics. The tenor is very speculative and non-Orthodox, so be ready for a bit of heresy.”

“Often very thoughtful and entertaining
But sometimes seems like like hosts let guests escape with lack of nuance and being too much in love with their worldview with out engaging in debate
