This podcast is like a salve on mu burning curiosity of the Bible. It’s both academic and amusing. Thank you!
This podcast is the best biblical podcast available. He is genius level in my opinion.
Gil does an excellent job. 5 Star podcast
I love this podcast! The host brings a fresh and relatable perspective on biblical stories with his background in writing/story telling, being a native Hebrew speaker, and not being a specialized academic (but using information from academics). I love that he posts links to information in the show notes and his humor is icing on the proverbial cake! 🤌🏼
A Great Applause for Gil Kidron!
I’m a Jewish scholar of Persian background and came across your podcast by chance and I want to express my appreciation and admiration for your amazing contributions alongside your humble sense of your approach despite your profound biblical knowledge! You’re simply amazing! כל הכבוד
