introducing the jamie geller show

I am so so SOOOO excited (yes, every single one of those Os is necessary) that I genuinely cannot sit still long enough to type this. I have been dreaming about this for years. Decades, really. Honestly my whole life, all the way back to when I was a little girl, flying off the school bus to catch Oprah with my mom every afternoon. And now it is happening. After all this time, it is really, truly, finally happening.

My new podcast is here. The Jamie Geller Show is live, and I made it for you.

I mean that with everything I have. After all these years of you cooking with me, celebrating with me, crying and laughing and growing with me, I wanted to build us a place to keep doing exactly that. If you loved No Reservations and Jamie in the Rova, picture those two woven together and dreamed a whole lot bigger. This is where we get into the real stuff. Love, marriage, kids, faith, and the gloriously complicated business of figuring it all out. The messy, the beautiful, and everything in between. Where we pull up a chair across from the most fascinating people on the planet and hear the kind of stories that stay with you for days. Where you walk away every single time a little warmer, a little more inspired, a little prouder of this gorgeous Jewish life we get to live.

Because here is what I know in my bones, and it is the beating heart of this whole show. Jewish life is beautiful. You and I know that better than almost anyone. We live it, we breathe it, we feel it every single day. And now we finally have a place to celebrate it, together.

So pour yourself a coffee, get cozy, and let’s dive in. The first two episodes are ready and waiting, back to back, made for exactly this. And please, the second you finish, tell me what you thought in the comments on YouTube. You know there is nothing in this world I love more than hearing from you.

Episode 1: Why I Left My Dream Career at CNN and HBO

Oh, do I have stories for you. Beyonce. Brad Pitt. Ben Affleck. The red carpets, the after parties, the after after parties, the whole dazzling circus of it. I had the career people spend their whole lives chasing. And then one ordinary day I walked into my boss’s office and handed it all back, and he looked at me and said I would never work in this town again. Did I regret it? Oh, you are going to want to hear this. I am holding nothing back.

And then you have to watch the next one, because this is the one my inbox will not stop buzzing about.

Episode 2: How Jewish Matchmaking Got Me Engaged in Two Weeks

Picture me on more than 50 blind dates. The real kind, where you have no idea what the guy even looks like until you are sitting right across from him. I had completely given up. I was sure I would never find the one. And then I did, and I promptly lost my mind, panicked, and broke up with Hubby on his answering machine. The very next day, we were engaged, with a scrunchie for a ring. I will tell you exactly what changed my mind.

And here is the part I love most. There is a brand new episode every single Wednesday. So this is not a one and done, it is our standing date. Some weeks it is me and my stories. Some weeks it is a conversation you will not be able to shake for days. And all of it, every single week, is us, together, falling a little more in love with this beautiful Jewish life.

I cannot wait for you to see it. So curl up, press play, and let’s do this, exactly the way we always have.
