Jill Sobule (1959–2025) 🎸

Devastated to learn of the passing of Jill Sobule — a fiercely original artist, queer icon, and one of the most tender, fearless voices in music.

Jill gave us so much: Supermodel, I Kissed a Girl, and a body of work that was satirical, subversive, and deeply human.

We started this podcast to fill a gap that we found in the Legacy media’s portrayal of what’s going on in Palestine. Have a listen on YT or Spotify we’ve got some amazing guests, including Palestinian artists, writers, and Israeli historians…

Got to enjoy some incredible artworks and books from the Islamic world dating from the 10th century onwards at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. Just a reminder that there’s no reason for us in the West to get snooty about civilization as if we invented it…
