Description

Our first conversation with someone involved in creating The Good Place, editor Eric Kissack! Eric talks with Sari, Rebecca, Dan and Jon about what an editor does generally, and what it was like to collaborate with Michael Schur for all four seasons. Eric reflects on some of his favorite episodes and moments, both professionally as an editor and as someone engaging with the show’s themes. He shares what he learned about the ethical life through his involvement in the show. We compare notes on the creative and editing processes for TV creators and rabbis, and the use of humor in our respective professions when it comes to teaching about ethics.

Holy....! Each week we'll discuss an episode of "The Good Place" along with a Jewish text or idea or two that relates to the theme of the episode. Hosted by Jon Spira-Savett, rabbi and lover of great TV comedy and ethical philosophy, along with different co-hosts who teach Judaism and Torah and are smart and funny. We may not be as funny as "The Good Place" itself, but we channel our own inner Chidis and Janets, as well as our Eleanors and Michaels and Tahanis and Jasons.
