20 Years of The Book of Life

The word "podcast" was coined in 2004. Just a year later, The Book of Life dropped its first episode!

On December 21, 2005, I posted for the first time: a 14 minute 17 second Hanukkah episode that packed in two author interviews, a CD review, and a reflection by my temple’s rabbi. You can still hear it HERE. The audio is a bit scratchy - I was recording remote interviews with a tiny microphone that went between my ear and the phone! - but the excitement was palpable. I was hooked. 

I'll be sharing more podcast history and finding lots of ways to celebrate throughout 2025. First up: Substack!
