Hashem is in a Rainforest Cafe with Miki Pigeon
Comedian Miki Pigeon joins Yenta!'s host Raye Schiller and guest co-host Gloria Alexander for some truly incredible Jewish gossip. You might know Miki because she recently went viral for her breakup story, involving a canceled move-in, a spontaneous trip to the beach, a two-hour drive to Rainforest Cafe, and what may be the most emotionally devastating roller coaster ride in Southern California history. Obviously, we need to break it all down for you on the pod, dear listener.We get into the ethics of turning your personal life into art, whether stand-up comedy is inherently a little evil, and if Yom Kippur and talking shit about people can peacefully coexist. Plus, Gloria, no context, has mixed feelings about Miki's ex (he's a mensch, allegedly), we unpack anxious attachment, "Polysecure, " and the deeply humiliating experience of wondering if your friends hate you, all while Miki reflects on what happens to your Jewish identity when the person you used to observe Shabbat with is no longer in your life.Come for the elite breakup gossip.

Amy Silverberg is the Most Popular Bisexual Jew in Orange County!
On this episode of Yenta!, Raye Schiller and guest co-host Gloria Alexander sit down with comedian, writer, and author Amy Silverberg to talk about bisexuality, Jewish guilt, boyfriends—good boyfriends and bad— and the deeply humiliating experience of realizing you might actually be happier when you stop lying to yourself.Amy gets very vulnerable about her new novel, First Time, Long Time, which she sold after just 30 pages and spent three years losing sleep over, and how writing it forced her to finally tell the truth about her sexuality, her relationship with her father, and all the complicated little contradictions that make up a person. She talks about growing up Jewish in Orange County (so random!), going to church with the Christian kids, joining a hot blonde sorority, secretly asking herself “Are you gay?” in the middle of the night, and eventually realizing that maybe there’s no need to choose a category at all.Plus: Amy’s first-ever relationship with a woman, her very hot sports guy boyfriend, freezing her eggs, whether babies are compatible with an artistic career, why she’s obsessed with the gray area, the perils of social media, the shocking revelation that astrology apps are mostly written by writers making shit up, and the deeply unhinged story of a first date that ended with a mailbox full of shrimp tails.Basically, this is an episode about being a person who is still figuring it the fuck out—which, honestly, same!Chapters:00:00 — Welcome to Yenta!02:15 — Meet Amy Silverberg05:10 — Selling a Novel on 30 Pages08:42 — Writing Yourself Into the Truth13:05 — “Are You Gay?”17:30 — Growing Up Jewish in Orange County21:15 — The Hot Blonde Sorority Years25:40 — Bisexuality, Boyfriends & Bad Decisions31:10 — Dating a Woman for the First Time36:25 — Do We Really Need to Come Out?41:05 — Living in the Gray Area46:20 — Jewish Guilt & Contradictions51:15 — Writer vs. Comedian55:40 — The Problem With Social Media59:30 — Freezing Your Eggs & the Baby Question01:05:10 — Is Astrology Made Up?01:08:45 — The Oldest Dog in the World Gets Exposed01:11:20 — The Shrimp Tail Date From Hell01:15:00 — Amy’s Novel, Classes & Where to Find Her

Meanwhile, Raye and Gloria reflects on the unpaid labor of dating apps, the lesbian enlightenment that apparently comes from getting your butthole waxed, and that one time Gloria ended up at a stranger's house for Sukkot.Also, Raye wants a baby??Subscribe to the Yenta!

A Good Rabbi Is Just Daddy! with Chef Tova Sterling
The day on Yenta! pod has finally arrived! Chef Tova Sterling is HERE to talk about her new breakup-sex roleplay kink, stalker fantasies, unholy dating benders, and so much more. Chef Tova is a private chef-turned-internet-personality who built an online empire from behind her cutting board block, whispering about sex while making elaborate food for everyone online who likes to watch ;). While filming this episode in New York City, Raye is joined by guest host and comedian Ariel Elias for a deeply Jewish, deeply horny, and deeply committed-to-the-bit conversation with the creator of Sinners’ Shabbat, NYC’s gloriously sexy collision of Shabbat, burlesque, drag, dancing, and Jewish freaksz.Tova talks to Raye and Ariel about how a psychedelic trip led her to a brief stint at seminary, how she got kicked out of a Jewish professionals group for bringing her femdom friend, and how that moment sparked her to swap traditional Jewish spaces for a 300-person burlesque Shabbat. She also gets into the art of creating an internet persona, her life as a celebrity private chef, and why Jewish references are apparently one of the fastest routes to arousal.Plus: the Jewish boy who wasn’t attracted to her (until he was), Raye coming to terms with being a pillow princess, reading people’s kinks, and the increasingly complicated line between “a little unhinged” and “please change your locks.”Come for the Sinners’ Shabbat lore. Stay for Tova explaining why the right Jewish pervert might just be her soulmate.Follow Tova:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheftova/?hl=enSubscribe to the Patreon for bonus gossip, matchmaking, and the stuff too juicy for the main feed: / yenta Follow Raye:Instagram: / rayeschiller TikTok: / rayeschiller Follow Ariel:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariel_comedy/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ariel_comedyYenta is a Heeb Media podcast.
