Manage episode 435146684 series 3565881
British David Baddiel is a rare breed: a comedian, author, screenwriter and songwriter with an unflinching commitment to telling the truth. In his latest books, My Family and The God Desire, Baddiel shares his strange and dysfunctional upbringing and his private yearnings for the existence of a god and 'cosmic justice'. He's in Australia for the Festival of Dangerous Ideas, and joined ATA for a wide-ranging conversation about parenting, golfing memorabilia and antisemitism post-October 7. Plus, Tami shares her newfound admiration for Sydney-based klezmer outfit Chutney. And Dash dives into the nitty-gritty of Australian census data, revealing fascinating insights about the Jewish community's shifting demographics.
