Got Manischewitz?!
Just our little contribution to the war effort: it's not a pandemic if you can't drink shitty wine and listener, we have the crossover episode to help heal your isolated soul.  Forget about the world falling apart for a little bit and learn about the crazy history of Manischewitz, the little matzoh company that became a household name and synonymous with horrifying wine.  Let us take you away from the horrors of COVID and envelope you in a gefilte fish blanket of joy.  Not all heroes wear capes.
