The Season 2 finale features a letter from “CEOO, Chief Egregious Offense Officer,” an executive who has discovered a photo of one of his employees in blackface — from 40 years ago. The episode features advice from Bintel, perspective from the past via the Forward’s archivist, Chana Pollack, and a special visit from Eve Ng, a professor at Ohio University and author of the new book, "Cancel Culture: A Critical Analysis."
Starting in 1906, the editors of the Forward answered reader questions in a column called “A Bintel Brief,” Yiddish for “a bundle of letters.” Now, we're bringing Bintel into a new era. Welcome to Season 2 of “A Bintel Brief,” the Jewish advice podcast. In the season finale, “The Ghost of Blackface Past,” an executive wants to know what to do after discovering a photo of one of his employees in blackface — from 40 years ago. Bintel responds with wisdom, humor, and tasteful advice.
