Celebrating 100 episodes of The CJN Daily

Our daily news podcast celebrates a milestone—with a podcast party.
From left to right, top to bottom: Ellin Bessner, host of The CJN Daily; Michael Fraiman, network director; Avi Finegold, co-host of Bonjour Chai; Ralph Benmergui, host of Yehupetzville; James Hirsh, co-host of Menschwarmers; Ilana Zackon, co-host of Bonjour Chai; David Sklar, co-host of Bonjour Chai; Gabe Pulver, co-host of Menschwarmers; Victoria Redden, producer for The CJN Daily; and Rivka Campbell, host of Rivkush.

Today marks The CJN Daily’s 100th episode: a significant milestone for any podcast, but especially one exclusively covering Canadian Jewish issues on a daily basis.

We’ve reported on Canada’s Wacky Mac shortage, the 2021 war between Israel and Hamas, the anniversary of the MS St. Louis, Canada’s first summit on antisemitism and dozens more topics that matter to Canadian Jews.

The CJN Daily really is what Jewish Canada sounds like.

On this special anniversary episode, we’ve invited other hosts from The CJN Podcast Network for a podcast party bonanza. Join the voices behind Bonjour Chai, Yehupetzville, Menschwarmers and Rivkush—together for the first time—to discuss what it’s like being storytellers with Canada’s biggest Jewish podcast community.
