Ashamed to Admit – Détails, épisodes et analyse

There is no episode of ATA this week, so Dash spoke with Sydney-based radio and podcast producer Rob Kaldor about The Jewish Independent's four-part series Tensions Transplanted (released on 6 September). 

British David Baddiel is a rare breed: a comedian, author, screenwriter and songwriter with an unflinching commitment to telling the truth. In his latest books, My Family and The God Desire, Baddiel shares his strange and dysfunctional upbringing and his private yearnings for the existence of a god and 'cosmic justice'. He's in Australia for the Festival of Dangerous Ideas, and joined ATA for a wide-ranging conversation about parenting, golfing memorabilia and antisemitism post-October 7. Plus, Tami shares her newfound admiration for Sydney-based klezmer outfit Chutney. And Dash dives into the nitty-gritty of Australian census data, revealing fascinating insights about the Jewish community's shifting demographics.

In this week's episode of ATA, Dash (the wise son) and Tami (the simple son) interview Jerusalem-based journalist, educator and peacemaker Ittay Flescher (aka. The Aussie Eliyahu Hanavi?) about Passover and his experience on April 14th when Iran launched drones and missiles towards Israel. Plus Tami shares 10 reasons why the 10 plagues need trigger warnings and they manage to squeeze in everyone’s favourite segment … kvetch of the week!

With tensions increasing between Israel, Iran and Lebanon, in this week's episode of ATA, Dash and Tami interview Dror Doron. Dror is a senior advisor at the United Against Nuclear Iran organization, he previously served for 17 years in Israel's government where he regularly briefed senior decision-makers on developments in the Middle East, particularly on Hezbollah. They also reveal some incriminating information about Tami’s ancestral pickle empire and share some admissions made by (anonymous) members of the community who confused their podcast for a ‘juicy confessions’ series.

In this week's episode of ATA, Tami reveals the tangy tagline of her great-great-grandparents' pickle factory, Palata Pickles. Is "Penny Wong good or bad for Israel"? We examine the Foreign Affairs Minister's approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict. And, in the spirit of preparing ourselves for (nasty) audience feedback, we reprise one of Tami's all-time favourite pieces of hate mail.

In this debut episode of Ashamed to Admit, Tami and Dash introduce themselves and explain the idea behind AtA – the show tackling the week's 'chewiest and Jewiest' topics making the rounds in the Australian JComms.

Since October 7, we've heard much more from Jewish community leadership than in previous years. Who speaks for Australian Jewry in 2024? And what claims do they have at representativeness? We discuss this and the annual 'URGENT' parental crisis posed by Purim costumes.
