Connect your ears to a new Jewish social experience...

Enjoy the liveliest Jewish audio experience in cyberspace, with our podcast, ‘Sounds Jewish’. Produced in association with The Guardian, our monthly programme, hosted by Jason Solomons, will give you the low down on Jewish arts, Jewish events, Jewish music, the latest Jewish happenings in London and sparky debate on issues of the moment.

Sounds Jewish – March 2010

In this special edition of Sounds Jewish direct from Jewish Book Week in the heart of London, join Jason Solomons as he speaks to acclaimed writers from Britain, America and beyond.

The literary festival launched with a big fanfare this year to celebrate the slightly bizarre festival of Purim, a kind of Jewish Mardi-Gras. We hear from Purim performers Simon Schama, Anita Diamant and Kathy Lette as they explain why cross-dressing and getting drunk are obligatory.

Writer and critic Hephzibah Anderson speaks to Jonathan Safran-Foer, about his new book, Eating Animals, in which he discusses vegetarianism, his grandmother and rejecting Friday night chicken soup.

Jason speaks to writer Will Self who talks about half-Jews and Jews on the margins – and explains why he believes his American mother was a self-hating Jew.

Cultural critic David Lehman explains why White Christmas and Easter Parade are actually Jewish songs in his new book A Fine Romance.
