Happy New Year! We kick off 2026 with a back-to-work podcast that features quite a grab-bag of topics. We’ve got a review of vacation, a requiem for MTV, and some surprising information about what Moses’ name actually means. We also get excited for Marc Baker’s visit tomorrow, our book event next Wednesday, a first-of-its-kind Yeladim Tu B’Shevat/Havdalah combo this Saturday, and a whole lot of events coming up. Dan gets sad that there are not more Stranger Things fans at TST, Talia surprisingly opts for the large-print Mah Jongg card, and Marissa remembers the weekend storm that almost flooded her B Mitzvah . Finally, we take an unexpected detour into the songs of Simon & Garfinkel and jukebox musicals, drop a bonus track about coming back to work, and somehow almost meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
