…..but I did clean things up a bit so that this site can stay up as a historical record. Show notes, comments, and images should all show up -- and most importantly, the MP3 audio files should play correctly. Use the "play podcast" button at the bottom of each description to link directly to the MP3 file. (Other buttons, such as iTunes, "Podcast Pickle," RSS, etc. are very unlikely to work!)
We no longer own the "jewsinalabama.com" domain name, so everything is hosted on a subfolder of our personal domain. If you find an episode link that doesn't work, let me know!!!
There are Jews in Alabama?
From 2005-2007, this podcast was hosted by a "nice Jewish couple" (and their baby girl!) living in the buckle of the Bible Belt. Eric and Raya talked about married life, Sophie Arielle, the Simpsons, Judaism, and anything else which wandered across their brains.

"A little slice of heaven, before you burn in hell"
The "Alabama Loves Jews" sketch, from Conan O'Brien's show on January 20, 2011. Probably what you Googled to get to this page. :)
No, Raya and I aren't still producing the "There Are Jews in Alabama?" podcast. Though after the firestorm of controversy and publicity surrounding Governor Robert Bentley's remarks and apology this week, I surely wish we were!! What a gold mine of material our new dipshit-in-chief provided!!!!

Jews in Alabama, Episode #59
We survived the High Holidays -- hurrah!! We discuss our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur experiences, as well as our sukkah fun, both at temple and in our own backyard. We've got some trips planned, including a trip to Atlanta to see They Might Be Giants and a jaunt to Vegas, baby!! Eric's heading solo to a local show by The Donnas in a couple of weeks -- we discuss the merits of The Donnas versus the Dead Milkmen. We're doing PR work for the March of Dimes, recording a 60-second video called "Sophie's Story" for their PSA contest. And, we try and decide the meaning of "crumitize," and eventually decide that it is a perfectly cromulent word. 40 minutes, 10 seconds of embiggening goodness.

Jews in Alabama, Episode #58
We give a recap of the past couple of weeks, including our "Swim & Pray at the J" experience and Sophie's first week back at preschool. We got a little political this week, at a lunch for the local chapter of the National Jewish Democratic Council, featuring Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL). We celebrated eight years of marriage this past Wednesday with a night out on the town!! Raya's getting a team together for the NCCJ Walk as One, and there's a little controversy at our synagogue over a group for gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender Jews. 44 minutes, 24 seconds.

Jews in Alabama, Episode #57
On this Atlanta-riffic episode, we talk about our trip to that giant traffic jam of a city. We visited the Georgia Aquarium, the new World of Coca-Cola (we discuss the New Coke fiasco), and the Imagine-It Children's Museum. We enjoyed excellent dinners at Max Lager's and Atlanta's Hard Rock Cafe, and had an amazing breakfast at The Flying Biscuit. No trip to Atlanta would be complete -- at least for us -- without a visit to IKEA, and we discuss our purchases from the big blue store. Raya gives an update on her health -- all good news -- and her ongoing battle with the Birmingham Water Works. We close with a little reminiscing about our experience at the Atlanta Olympics, some 11 years ago. 55 minutes, 6 seconds.

I am so smart....S-M-R-T....I mean S-M-A-R-T....
Because I forgot to renew the domain name before it expired this week, things on jewsinalabama.com have been a little flaky over the past couple days -- site inaccessible, iTunes feed not working, etc., etc.
I think I've got everything fixed now. But if you notice any weirdness, please let us know!
