Introducing Faith Moore and Her New Book

From Christmas Karol to Wooing Jane: A Shift

The Missing Art of Wooing in Modern Dating

The Misunderstood Concept of Chivalry

The Attraction to the "Don Drapers"

The Joy of Writing Wooing Jane

The Importance of Reality Over Fantasy in

Faith's Personal Life and Values

Optimism for the Future: Less Screen Time and

The Power of Doing Hard Things

Closing Remarks and Book Recommendations

Karol Markowicz sits down with author and Storytime for Grown Ups host Faith Moore to discuss her new romantic comedy, Wooing Jane, a wildly original story that brings Henry VIII into the modern world to help two lonely people fall in love.

Their conversation quickly expands into a bigger question: Have men and women forgotten how to woo each other? Moore discusses chivalry, modern feminism, changing expectations between men and women, and why people can struggle to form meaningful romantic relationships in an increasingly online world.

Karol and Faith also explore dating apps, online friendships, parasocial relationships and the danger of comparing imperfect real people with idealized versions of people created online. Moore argues that while technology can help people connect, ultimately “reality is the most important thing.” 

Plus, Faith explains why she believes younger generations may begin putting down their phones and reconnecting with books, exercise, the outdoors and face-to-face relationships. And she closes with a simple piece of advice for building a better life: the things worth having are often hard—and you can do hard things.

The MIT Administration's Response and

The Impact and Challenges of Documenting

Sheffi's Personal Pride and Future

Closing Thoughts and Final Advice

Karol Markowicz sits down with Dr. Yossi Sheffi, MIT professor and author of Unsafe at MIT: A Chronicle of a Campus War on the Jews, for a candid conversation about antisemitism, campus activism and what Jewish students have experienced at one of America’s most prestigious universities.

Sheffi explains why he decided to document events at MIT, including interviews with roughly 50 students, and argues that although conditions on campus have improved, an undercurrent of antisemitism and harassment remains. He describes Jewish students being excluded from study groups and discusses why that can have a particularly serious impact in engineering programs built around collaborative work.

Karol and Sheffi also tackle a question facing Jewish parents: Should their children still attend elite universities where antisemitism has become a concern? Sheffi discusses alternatives, the difference between undergraduate and graduate education, and efforts by Jewish faculty and students to build stronger communities and academic partnerships. 

Plus, Sheffi discusses the response he's received since publishing Unsafe at MIT, why he believes speaking out is worth the consequences, and the life philosophy that guides him: do the right thing regardless of whether people applaud or vilify you.

Closing Thoughts and Contact Information

Karol Markowicz sits down with education researcher and policy expert Jay Greene, Director of Research at Do No Harm and Senior Fellow at the Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies, for a wide-ranging conversation about school choice, antisemitism, higher education, DEI, medicine, and the future of American education.

Greene explains his research into antisemitism and challenges the idea that greater education necessarily reduces anti-Jewish attitudes. He discusses an experiment designed to measure differences in how respondents treated Jewish and non-Jewish subjects and offers his theory about the political and social forces that can sustain antisemitism. 

Karol and Jay also dive into the dramatic expansion of school choice, including Greene’s role in developing what he calls the “Red State Strategy.” Greene explains why advocates shifted their argument toward parental control over children's education and discusses the growth of universal school-choice programs following the pandemic.

Plus, Greene discusses why he believes Jewish institutional life could experience a renaissance, his upcoming research, and why his advice for young people is simple: start adulthood early—work, marry, build a family, and avoid unnecessarily delaying adulthood.
