Finding Favorites with Leah Jones
Finding Favorites is where we learn about people’s favorite things and get recommendations without using an algorithm. Every other week, host Leah Jones sits down with a guest to learn about how they found their favorite thing, why they love it and why they think other people will fall in love, too.

Rabbi Michael Zedek loves chocolate

Wednesday Nov 27, 2024
Rabbi Michael Zedek, the rabbi emeritus of Emanuel Congregation in Chicago, joined Leah for a very fun and meandering conversation about lots of his favorite things. His book, Taking Miracles Seriously: A Journey to Everyday Spirituality, is going into a second printing and he's available for all of your events - Jewish or not, in person or virtual, to discuss the book.
As a congregant of 20 years, Leah used the podcast to get the full stories of how Rabbi Zedek became a rabbi (where are you Elijah from Syracuse?), how he met his wife Karen, and how he came to Emanuel after retiring from the pulpit once already.

Theresa Goodrich, aka The Local Tourist, has always loved to write. After she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided not to let anything stop her from writing fiction and she has written FIVE mysteries featuring travel writer Alex Paige. Theresa is one of the first people I met on Twitter and this was a great chance to catch up with each other.
Since it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, both new episodes will feature interviews with a heavy focus on breast cancer. Please, shedule your mammogram, colonoscopy, and dermatology screenings. Early detection really does save lives.

Author and film maker Pam Mandel is here to convince us all to add an ebike to our garage for local errands and more freedom of movement. Her debut short film Elvis of the Yukon debuted in New York and has just been selected for the Seattle Film Festival.
We will be visiting with her collaborators throughout the summer as we celebrate road trips.
Keep up with Pam Mandel online

Finding Favorites with Leah Jones
Everyone loves something. A hobby, a musician, an artist, a book genre - everyone has a favorite thing and this is the podcast where we hear the stories.
How did you discover your favorite thing? What do you love about it? Who have you met through it? How would someone sample your favorite thing?
At Finding Favorites, we get recommendations without using an algorithm.
