About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, we’re officially welcoming our new co-host, Joshua Malina! To celebrate Joshua’s arrival and his role as Hermann Merz in the Tony-nominated play Leopoldstadt , join us June 22 for a special Unorthodox night on Broadway. After the show, Stephanie and Liel will do a Q&A on-stage with Joshua. Get your tickets at bit.ly/uobroadway . Our Jew of the Week is Aaron Saidman, executive producer of Netflix’s Jewish Matchmaking , as well as its predecessor, Indian Matchmaking . We chat with him about the pressure of representing Judaism on TV, and what his mom thinks of the hit show. Our Gentile of the Week is actor Aaron Neil , who plays Ernst in Leopoldstadt on Broadway and shares a dressing room with our own Joshua Malina. He tells us about originating the role of Ernst in London before the show came to Broadway, shares his experience being part of the beloved film ‘Paddington 2,’ and discusses his own faith journey.
