About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, we’re getting jiggy with it. Our Jewish guest is Lenny Solomon, frontman of the Jewish rock band Shlock Rock . He talks with us about what it takes to create a great parody song, the role of humor in music, and accounting. You can donate to his fundraiser for his musical, Daniel in Babylon, here . Our Gentile of the Week is professor and writer Devoney Looser , who teaches us about Jane Austen and roller derby, and the surprising ways in which these two subjects intersect.
