Hi! We’ve been away for a long while.  Why is that? You’ll just have to listen to find out…

We’re in the midst of the Jewish holiday of Passover — a holiday of springtime, slavery, freedom, multimedia events and education. And, of course, of eating matzah. And, for some, quinoa.

Join us for more details as to how one of our co-hosts has observed Passover in the past — and how it’s going down this year!

Besides being a Southern staple, a catfish is the new slang for people who misrepresent themselves on the Internet.

Wait.

How do you know we are who we say we are?!

OMG. How do WE know we are who we say we are?

Don’t worry, we are. Mostly.

This week, we discuss the “catfish” in sheep’s clothing.

We wish you a Merry Christmas / we wish you a Merry Christmas / we wish you a Merry Christmas and a …  wait, whaaaat?

Yes.  Christmas.  I’m Jewish, she’s Muslim. And this is a Christmas episode. Why? Just because.

We do, however, talk about a couple of other things:  Faiqa (the one who isn’t Jewish) wrote an article about the winter holiday of Hanukkah (the one that is Jewish) — and got some flack about it.   And the recent shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, CT was on our minds as well.

But we end it by celebrating Christmas — yes, Christmas — through a way both of us could connect.  How? You’ll see…

It’s a very special episode of Hey! That’s My Hummus!  Why is that? Because Shiny isn’t a part of it!

This past week was The Aiming Low Non-Conference in Atlanta, GA. And Faiqa not only was there, but she was also a roundtable leader at the (non) conference!  While at the conference she spent time with yet another roundtable leader, Neil Kramer (@Neilochka), who is known for his blog Citizen of the Month.  This was an opportunity to talk about many fascinating things — as happens when two great minds meet.

Listen as Neil discusses rubbing famous elbows on his visit to Memphis and Graceland!  About his writing career! About ironing shirts! And so much more!

Speaking of irons and shirts — did you know that Amazon.com sells both?  Click through our link to shop at Amazon while helping us out!
