Exile

Mandy Patinkin is a fabulous storyteller. I’ve enjoyed every one of the stories. This time period & how people survived such horrors always astounds me. I just so appreciate this podcast. I love learning new things.

This is a podcast everyone should listen to. It is stunning to me the Jewish people are under attack again. Did we learn nothing from WWII? Influential people like Kanye West attacking people of peaceful and upright faith. Violent signs on the 405 Highway in Los Angeles, a town where so many people are Jewish, speaking hate and get approving honks by people passing under. That is precisely why this podcast is desperately needed. The podcast will last for future generations. The lessons are invaluable. Mandy Patinkin leaves you on the edge of your seat, sometimes weeping, but calling everyone to protect the Jewish community. If you have a prejudice relative, force them to listen to even one episode. Play it loud at a family gathering. This podcast has the ability to educate everyone and change hateful hearts. I was able to get a ticket to a concert Mr. Patinkin sang in Los Angeles for my best girlfriend on her birthday. We were blessed. Still talk about it. It was the days before cell phones, but we went to the back stage door and Mandy generously came and talked to us mega-fans and also took photos. Many today know him from “Homeland” but I wanted to include in this review that this performer’s talents reach far beyond acting. And my, what a story teller he is. He puts you in the story. He surges a huge desire to fight for justice. Listen to this podcast. You will be a better human for doing so. Coleen Forward
