I was thrilled to find this cassette in the box of old shows. These episodes aired toward the end of 1999. My guest was also a very dear friend named Don Herman. Don passed away in 2019. He meant a lot to my wife & me. His wife Bluma is still a part of our lives. In 1997 Jewish Theatre Grand Rapids staged a play Don wrote called "That Reminds Me of a Story." It was collection of brilliant examples of classic Jewish Humor.

Back in 2020 I revisited the world of Jewish humor again. Check out Podcast #113 for that. But this is the original.

One other note: On these cassettes that I'm digitizing & uploading there are sorts of sounds such as mic checks, countdowns from my engineer, a word or so from my guest, etc. As you would expect, I edit those out for these podcasts. Well, there are a couple sweets remarks by Don immediately before & after the episodes that I couldn't bring myself to cut. So here we go, all the way. Enjoy.
