What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

A breath of fresh air during this time of overwhelming antisemitism. I love how cozy and fun this show is while still being real.

taramann · Jul 2026

This is fantastic podcast with real Jewish women as hosts, not caricatures. Love the positivity and joy of being Jewish that is shared.❤️

curly sheri · Jul 2026

Absolutely love hearing Stephanie Butnick’s voice on a podcast again, and she is joined by such lovely and inspiring women. I met Esther Chehebar at the PJ library festival on the UWS and just finished her amazingggg novel and was SO happy to hear she was on the pod as well! I smile throughout every episode and am so happy for this sprinkle of Jewish joy in my week. PS sometimes I listen in the car with my toddler, and she is obsessed with the ending when Edith say “it’s a Golda Podcast”. She cracks up and that’s all I can ask for during a long car ride with my two year old lol. Anyway, mazel tov on an amazing first few episodes - can’t wait to hear so many more :)

I listened to Stephanie every week for years and she was truly the best part of Unorthodox. I’m so glad she decided to join forces with some awesome women to bring us this podcast. In a sea of absolute chaos since October 7, this is the sweetest new podcast we needed. I love hearing different women’s perspectives. Stay Golda.
