The Proud Zionist Producer Refusing to Keep Quiet in Hollywood
Leo Pearlman joins Jodie Brandman to discuss Hollywood’s silence, antisemitism and speaking out as a Zionist.
In this episode of What The Falafel, Jodie Brandman sits down with Hollywood producer and writer, Leo Pearlman.
We chat about how he built a TV empire from a basement with 3 other Jewish guys; The Hollywood silence (and antisemitism) the last few years; why he’s speaking out as a proud Zionist Jew; and most importantly… why herring is absolutely NOT allowed in his office!
It’s a brilliant inspiring, funny and insightful episode so make sure you tune in…
