Ashamed to Admit
It's everything you didn't get in Jewish Studies class and a lot you probably didn't know you needed.
Ashamed to Admit is the podcast for anyone who's ever nodded along in a conversation about Jewish history, culture, or current events while internally panicking.
Hosted by comedians Tami Sussman and Shoshana Gottlieb, each episode breaks down the big, chewy, occasionally ridiculous questions of Jewish life, identity and community, with warmth, wit, and zero judgment.
From ancient texts to antisemitism to whether you can use a vibrator on Shabbat, nothing is off limits.
Funny, irreverent, and genuinely educational. You don't have to be Jewish to love it. But it helps to have a sense of humour.

In this debut episode of Ashamed to Admit, Tami and Dash introduce themselves and explain the idea behind AtA – the show tackling the week's 'chewiest and Jewiest' topics making the rounds in the Australian JComms.
Since October 7, we've heard much more from Jewish community leadership than in previous years. Who speaks for Australian Jewry in 2024? And what claims do they have at representativeness? We discuss this and the annual 'URGENT' parental crisis posed by Purim costumes.
