Season 8 – Episode 27 • Having a Gay Day

redux — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 05:00:06 +0000

On a slightly more serious Dead Air, the crew talks about the problem of homosexuality in the Orthodox Jewish community. Despite all of this being a major social problem, our listeners will be comforted to know that it doesn’t stop us from making dirty jokes and mocking each other’s sex lives almost constantly.

Season 8 – Episode 20 • The Revengencing

redux — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:16:43 +0000

In an extremely unfocused Dead Air, we discuss problem of Purim, the heartbreak of Passover, and the lactose intolerance of Shavuot. In other news, there are horrible tragedies pretty much everywhere, and the crew enacts a new law: if you haven’t attempted to conquer Europe, you can’t be compared to Hitler.

Season 7 – Episode 17 • Mission From God

Spam — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 01:41:45 +0000

While the Oscar’s are definitely not our topic tonight, we discuss something else near and dear to Dead Air’s collective heart: religion. Shockingly, Zee is cynical, the Mo is conservative, Redux is inflammatory, and Spam is non-committal.

Season 7 – Episode 06 • Hot, Wet, and Jewcy

Spam — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:00:01 +0000

As our sabbatical season takes a more serious turn, we discuss the proliferation of Orthodox oriented sites promoting pornography, swinging, and deviancy. Join us as we discuss the problems, the impact, the oddities, and some possible solutions.

Season 7 – Episode 05 • J.I.L.F.

Spam — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:49:19 +0000

A phenomenon is sweeping the nation – hot, hot Jews. So why are Jewish women suddenly the most desirable ones in Hollywood? Didn’t Fran Drescher used to be the height of Jewish femininity in media? Not anymore, thank God.

Season 6 – Episode 33 • No, I’m Spartacus

Spam — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:59:14 +0000

After we spend some time arguing about who is which Sex and the City character, we reminisce about the early days of the station and some of our craziest moments. After determining that Bono is to blame for thousands of years of misery and pain in Africa, we discuss the definition of a Jewish hero and who is a douchebag for claiming to be one.

Season 6 – Episode 30 • Crisis of Infinite Births

Spam — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:00:43 +0000

Zee’s just gotten engaged, and registering for $200 pillows is not something he’ll forget soon. On that note, we jew down our listeners with a discussion of the so-called “shidduch crisis” sweeping through the Jewish singles community. And how do little Orthodox kids learn about sex? It’s not sex ed – it’s HBO.

Season 4 – Episode 23 • The Road Scholars

redux — Sat, 19 Mar 2005 19:27:20 +0000

The Dead Air Crew heads to the Fighting City of Philadelphia for weekend with the Mo. Fortunately, the Mo is completely out of his mind, enabling us to have a plethora of adventures and wide variety of entertaining opportunities. We saw art, ate krimpets, battled hobos, and went to synagogue. Plus, Zee licked the Liberty Bell. It’s Rashomon, Dead Air style.

Season 4 – Episode 19 • The Elders of Zion

redux — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 13:50:03 +0000

Judaism, contrary to popular belief, is completely nuts. Nothing is crazier than the holidays, especially Passover. In recent years, hotel Passover programs have gotten more and more out of control, like the time Spam wandered into a parking lot and found a llama. Along with special guest former Station Manager Dave, we give you a very Jewy Dead Air.

Season 3 – Episode 34 • Let’s Get Crunk

redux — Sun, 22 Feb 2004 16:42:40 +0000

Ironically (considering the topic for our previous episode), we interview Etan G, the world’s premier Jewish rapper. He talks, he raps, he reminisces, he tries to convince to love rap. It’s a hard sell. Still, a fun time was had by all.
