Every now and then, there is an episode of Crackers & Grape Juice that leaves me wanting to continue the conversation beyond the prescheduled appointment. Our conversation with Liel Leibovitz is one of those conversations.

Liel joins the podcast to talk about his recent editorial in Tablet Magazine, but we talked about so much more. If you don’t enjoy this episode, there’s not much we can do for you.

Liel Liebowitz is a writer for Tablet magazine and host of the popular podcast, Unorthodox. Liel is an Israeli journalist, author, media critic and video game scholar. Leibovitz was born in Tel Aviv, immigrated to the United States in 1999, and earned a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2007. In 2014, he was Visiting Assistant Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University. He is the author of many books, including The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia, How the Talmud Can Change Your Life, and Stan Lee: A Life in Comics.
