Scientologists and More
Forward book critic Mark Oppenheimer is hosting a new podcast called Castaway, hosted by NewHavenIndependent.org, a new site founded by alt-press veteran Paul Bass. We’re biased, but if the first episode — in which Mark snags the president of the Church of Scientology for a rare lengthy interview — is any indication, Castaway is about to become the new must-hear.
It’s our birthday and we’re still celebrating!
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news.
This week we celebrate 129 years of the Forward. We’re proud of our origins as a Yiddish print publication serving Jewish immigrants. And we’re just as proud of what we’ve become today: A trusted source of Jewish news and opinion, available digitally to anyone in the world without paywalls or subscriptions.
We’ve helped five generations of American Jews make sense of the news and the world around them — and we aren’t slowing down any time soon.
