18: Ezra Furman

My guest this week is American musician Ezra Furman. Ezra has released 5 albums, and also wrote the original soundtrack for the Netflix series Sex Education. In 2018, they also wrote the 33⅓ book on Lou Reed's classic album Transformer. In our conversation we spoke about Jewish musicians and the impact they had on our own musical journeys, our own Jewish identities and how they play a part in our music, and the challenges Ezra has faced keeping Jewish practices on tour. You can follow Ezra on Twitter @EzraFurman, and you can follow me on Twitter @Jewish_Podcast.
