Weiner/Spitzer; A Forgotten Yiddish Poet Comes Home

FRESH FACES?: Two familiar names are getting back into New York City politics. But will Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer be able to overcome their checkered pasts? Image by getty images
In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward director of digital media, Dave Goldiner, to discuss the futures of Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner. Then, staff writer Paul Berger speaks with Henrik Greenberg about the Yiddish poet Naftali Herts Kon, whose works have recently been returned to his daughter after decades in the Polish archives.
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.
