Culture wars and deep dives
Phoebe Maltz Bovy, culture critic and opinion editor at The CJN, explores how Jews are increasingly stuck between dangerous political and cultural flanks on the left and right. New episodes every Tuesday.
Phoebe is the opinion editor for The Canadian Jewish News and a contributor editor of The CJN’s Scribe Quarterly print magazine. She is also a contributor columnist for the Globe and Mail, co-host of the podcast Feminine Chaos with Kat Rosenfield, and the author of the book The Perils of “Privilege”. Her second book, about straight women, will be published with Penguin Random House Canada. Follow her on Bluesky @phoebebovy.bsky.social and X @bovymaltz.
