In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis talks with Forward artist in residence Eli Valley about his newest comic in which a sea monster visits the AIPAC conference. Then, staff writer Paul Berger talks about the ongoing saga of Alan Gross, a Jewish American aid worker who is serving a 15-year prison sentence in Cuba. Then, staff writer Ezra Glinter stops by to discuss our picks for the top Jewish Oscar winners of all-time.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
