Reboot Presents: Replay

Get ready to unplug – but don’t sign off yet, because in celebration of the annual Global Day of Unplugging (formerly the National Day of Unplugging founded by Reboot in 2009) in March, we are revisiting the Unplug episode of The Kibitz podcast, Season 1, Episode 4, originally aired in March 2016. Despite the obvious irony in a podcast about unplugging, this episode of The Kibitz was all about our need to collectively unplug from technology. Join host Dan Crane on a journey celebrating the Shabbat tradition and the National Day of Unplugging. Featuring guests: Dan Rollman, Rabbi David Kasher, Moshe Kasher, Janice “Nanna” Lubin (Dan’s then 95 years young nanna), Gabriel Kahane and Mickey Rapkin.

On the heels of President’s Day, we jump back to Season 2 Episode 3 of the In Quarantine with Steve Bodow podcast originally aired in August 2020. New Jersey senator, Cory Booker, talks with Steve Bodow on “In Quarantine” about Kamala Harris’ ascent, the future of the racial justice movement, and which medical procedure most resembles getting vetted for the vice presidency.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we are revisiting Season 1, Episode 3 of The Kibitz podcast, originally aired in February 2016. Host Dan Crane asks, “What is love, anyway?” Howard Jones didn’t know back in 1983, and Jews have pondered the same question as far back as Jacob and Rachel. Join Crane on a journey into the heart of what makes our hearts aflutter. Featuring guests: Mishy Harman (Israel Story), Rabbi David Kasher, Moshe Kasher, Janice “Nanna” Lubin (Dan’s 95 years young nanna), Larry Smith, Joel Stein and Jeff Goldblum playing some Valentine’s Day Jazz. Listen now. 

To mark Chinese New Year, we are revisiting Season 2 Episode 6 of the In Quarantine with Steve Bodow podcast originally aired in September 2020. After five months quarantined in Sydney, the Daily Show correspondent Ronny Chieng tells host Steve Bodow about returning to NYC, why Australia kicked our Corona response ass, and what Chinese New Year can teach Rosh Hashanah. (It’s dragons. The answer is dragons.) Produced during the pandemic lockdown with 14-time Emmy-winning former Daily Show executive producer Steve Bodow, In Quarantine is about how creative people are living, personally and professionally in this very weird time. Listen here!

To ring in 2023, we are revisiting Season 1 Episode 2 of The Kibitz Podcast, originally aired in January of 2016. In this episode, host Dan Crane focuses on transitions, religious and gender fluidity and what being a Jew means at B-Mitzvah age and now. Featuring guests: Zackary Drucker and Micah Fitzerman-Blue (Transparent), Christopher Noxon, Mishy Harman (Israel Story), an installment of Kasher vs Kasher, and some jokes from Dan’s nana. The Kibitz is a hilarious and insightful guide to Jewish ideas and culture.
