Join us as we explore the political, cultural and social implications of life in diaspora. We wander across a variety of topics, grounding a socialist diasporist perspective through conversations with social movement organizers and scholars from around the world. While primarily focused on the Jewish world, we dialogue with people from non-Jewish communities which share the experience of diaspora and exile and situate Jewish communities in their diverse national contexts.

    In this episode we speak with three organizers of the United Jewish Peoples Order (UJPO) to explore their organization's storied century-long history, and its present work as a community organization committed to developing secular socialist Jewish life in Toronto (and Canada more broadly) through educational, cultural and social events and programs.

  • Miami's Leftist Sephardi Zine w/ Emanuel Ovadia

    Miami's Leftist Sephardi Zine w/ Emanuel Ovadia
    Feb 18 2026

    Ben and Zach are joined by Emanuel Ovadia, creator and editor of Gazoz De Frambuaz, a Ladino-centering zine based in Miami Florida. Gazoz De Frambuaz (Raspberry Soda) serves as a metaphor for the cultural exchange that's served as a a wellspring for Sephardic culture across the region that Sephardic Jews made their home after the Spanish Inquisition: Southwest Asia and North Africa. Our conversation grounds us in the history of the Ladino language, before exploring contemporary Sephardi cultural institutions to situate the contribution of Gazoz De Frambuaz to modern Sephardi culture.
