Ashamed to Admit

About Ashamed to Admit

It's everything you didn't get in Jewish Studies class and a lot you probably didn't know you needed. Ashamed to Admit is the podcast for anyone who's ever nodded along in a conversation about Jewish history, culture, or current events while internally panicking. Hosted by comedians Tami Sussman and Shoshana Gottlieb, each episode breaks down the big, chewy, occasionally ridiculous questions of Jewish life, identity and community, with warmth, wit, and zero judgment. From ancient texts to antisemitism to whether you can use a vibrator on Shabbat, nothing is off limits. Funny, irreverent, and genuinely educational. You don't have to be Jewish to love it. But it helps to have a sense of humour.
