    Why is this episode different to all other episodes?

    30/03/2026 | 34 mins.
    Because it's the Pesach Special ya'll. 

    Why do secular Jews love Passover so much? Is there archeological proof that the red sea parted? What happened to the Israelites who stayed in Egypt instead of following Moshe and Miriam’s tambourine? Why did Shoshana get accosted at the local kosher supermarket over mayonnaise? Lots of funny answers, anecdotes and sincere boomer appreciation in this very special episode of Ashamed to Admit.

    What's the difference between Torah, Tanakh, Talmud, Mishnah, Gemara and Midrash?

    23/03/2026 | 38 mins.
    Why are there so many Jewish books? What's the difference between Torah, Tanakh, Talmud, Mishnah, Gemara and Midrash? Will memes be added to the canon in the future? In this episode, Shoshana explains all to Tami who's ashamed to admit she had never seen a page of Talmud before they recorded this episode. Plus, a Jewish Facebook weighs in on whether or not a dating app profile picture has been made using AI.

    The Jewish Wedding Special (Part 1)

    16/03/2026 | 32 mins.
    What makes a Jewish wedding “Jewish?” The couple? The rituals? The contract? The person officiating? In this episode, Tami and Shoshana attempt to answer this question. Plus Shoshana reveals a very unpopular opinion regarding the breaking of the glass and they bring out a cork board, pins and red string to piece together a Jewish FB group riddle.
