On this episode of the podcast Dana Mintzer Leman, Zander Leman, and Shirley Beedon conduct/co-produce a fantastic, very entertaining, really unique, and conversational interview with me In Person at Dana's house. This was Dana's 9th time (8th in person), Zander's 6th time (5th in person), and Shirley's 5th time on the podcast.

This was a really unique episode because the first letters of all the questions they asked me formed an anagram or acronym which spells out: "Jeff Duitch is the best!"

Zander's questions: J: How did you get your name? E: What inequities do you see in the world? F: Do you ever use the "F" word? F: Does the rest of your family use the F word? D: Do you have a favorite literary or biblical passage that you live by? U: What do you wish others would understand? I: What comes to mind when you hear the word "Identity" and how would you describe yourself in three words?

Shirley's questions: T: Tell me about a time where you felt truly proud of yourself? C: City versus countryside, where would you prefer to live if you had a choice? H: Do you have a favorite healthy food and why? I: Is there one thing you want people to know about you? S: If you could have a superpower, which one would you choose? T: Tell me about a challenge that you have overcome? H: How long does it take you to edit an episode of the podcast?

Dana's questions: H2: How do you like to go about the requirement on Yom Kippur for atonement E: Everything considered, what would you describe as an exceptional day? B: Baseball or Basketball, which would you rather watch and which one would you rather play? E: If you could only have one food item for three days and it would be plentifully supplied, what would it be? S: If you could advise our government on something they need to do better and they would absolutely make that change, what would that suggestion be? T: What makes you laugh easily and how ticklish are you? We wrapped up the interview with Dana, Zander, and Shirley saying what they wish for me over the coming year (5787 in the Jewish calendar).
