About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, we’re celebrating our proximity Tony Award . Our Jew of the Week is the comedian Alex Edelman . He returns to Unorthodox to celebrate his solo show, Just for Us , heading to Broadway for the summer. He also shares why it’s important to him to be pushing the conversation on Jewish art forward, beyond the low-hanging fruit of “bubbes, brisket, and bagels." Our Gentile of the Week is author and sportswriter Will Leitch . He joins us to talk about his new novel , The Time Has Come , and share his insights about the challenges and joys of fatherhood, baseball, and Little League. We love to hear from you!
