Talking Jews, talking sports
The web’s most popular Jewish sports podcast. Join Gabe and Jamie for laid-back interviews, global commentary and surprisingly in-depth investigations into whether athletes whose names sound Jewish actually are. Follow us on Twitter @menschwarmers.
Gabe Pulver is a recovering journalist thrilled to be working with The CJN on Menschwarmers and whatever other projects they throw his way. He’s covered three Olympics as a broadcast researcher and can tell you which athletes were Jewish in all of them. He is also the parent of one son and owner of a very shaky 9 handicap.
James Hirsh is a civil litigator and one half of the Menschwarmers. He can usually be found cheering on Jewish athletes at all levels of competition or in the cheap seats at the Rogers Centre, cheering on the Blue Jays. He lives with his wife and two children in Toronto.
