June 24, 2026 · 1 h 37 min

Show notes

Ben Kawaller is a writer and journalist who you may know from his video series “Ben Meets America” in the Free Press, and from the Reflector podcast series “Strange Bedfellows” about how the LGBT movement went slightly off the rails.

We discuss coming out as a writer late in life, going to Korea for illegal spa treatments that include salmon sperm injections to the face, and whether Adam (the one from Adam & Eve) was into some kinky animal stuff… HAPPY PRIDE!

Interview starts around minute 40.

Follow Ben on X, Instagram.

BUT FIRST!

40 minutes of catching up from your favorite Jews: Chaya Leah had a big party, Yael had a big crash. We celebrate both. Also we crown a winner fo the Challah giveaway, so listen carefully as you may be the lucky recepient.

Mazal tov the Chaya Leah’s son and his soon-to-be wonderful bride!! Thank you to her parents who listened to a few episodes and still allowed her to marry into this family.
