The Apple Scrapple Festival (Part 1) with Chanan Berkovits, or "It Doesn't Get Less Orthodox Jewish Than This"

We're making history with our very first two part episode! What event could be so monumental as to be worthy of a multi-week audio engageent? The annual Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville, Delaware - a multi-day celebration of a regional pork product and the soul of a town; filled with pageants, feats of strength, dance parties, and whatever a "Mayoral Scrapple Sling" is!

But at the heart of this episode is the journey of how one man went from a strictly observant practicing Orthodox Jew to "man who invites me to a pork organ meat festival." My dear friend from college CHANAN BERKOVITS delves into how food, mental health, and religion entwined and separated to lead him towards a life where he wants to try anything and everything there is, including scrapple.

To add to the special Giant Sized nature of the event, his wife Lauren and my girlfriend Brittany both guest star as this week we attend the Opening Ceremonies, get a special report on the Little Miss Apple Scrapple Pageant, and learn what happens when you play my most hated song in the world.

Is the Apple Scrapple Festival something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!
