Podomedy, the UK's podcast comedy network, announces the addition of Jew Talkin' To Me? to its roster. This groundbreaking podcast, hosted by award-winning comedians Rachel Creeger and Philip Simon, offers an unashamedly Jewish perspective while warmly welcoming listeners of all backgrounds.

The show, produced by Russell Balkind, features engaging conversations with entertainment industry guests exploring modern Jewish life in a secular world. Each episode brings fresh insights and humour to discussions about Jewish culture, traditions, and experiences.

Philip Simon, winner of the 2023 UK Pun Off at Edinburgh Fringe and the 2015 Jewish Comedian of the Year, brings his extensive international comedy experience to the podcast. His credentials include performances across the UK, America, Scandinavia, and New Zealand, as well as acting in TV sitcoms such as My Family.

Rachel Creeger, the only practicing orthodox Jewish woman on the UK comedy circuit, adds her unique voice and perspective. Her acclaimed solo show "It's No Job For A Nice Jewish Girl" enjoyed a sell-out Edinburgh run, and she regularly appears on BBC Radio London and BBC Radio 2.

"We're excited to bring authentic Jewish voices and experiences to a broader audience through Podomedy," said Damien St John, Founder and CEO at Podomedy. "Philip and Rachel are two of the funniest and most charming comedians on the circuit. Together, they continue to celebrate the best of Jewish culture while creating a welcoming space for everyone to learn, laugh, and connect."

The podcast features guests from across the entertainment industry, including stand-up comedians, presenters, broadcasters, and writers who are Jewish or have Jewish connections, creating a rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences.
