Learnt Up

37

Lorraine DeGraffenreidt is a black person! Sarah Isaacson is a Jewish person! As it turns out, there's a lot of black and Jewish stuff that they don't know anything about -- and that makes them feel guilty! So now, they're getting learnt up. Join Lorraine and Sarah as they discover classic movies everyone's already seen (Schindler's List anyone???), conquer basic ethnic foods (chicken and waffles!!!) and generally improve as adult people, all while making their black and Jewish dads proud.

    I love em sooooo much
    I just discovered this podcast today and I can’t wait to binge the rest! Great host chemistry, comedy, and fun face in a easy listening but larger than a podcast type of way!

    Binge worthy
    Fun fact - you can listen to 18 episodes of Learnt Up in one day while driving from Austin to Tucson. I would know. This podcast has honest and hard working hosts who know how to do their research, the episodes have interesting topics, and you can learn about great sponsors for products like Baby I Want That or Bubbe’s Bubbles that will make your life complete.

    I would eat Drake’s butthole
    This podcast is perfect. It’s super educational and talks about real issues, but there’s chemistry, conversation, and jokes. The conversation is organic and free-flowing, but there’s also structure and regular segments to make sure you learn while you’re laughing. I have both laughed out loud in the middle of a silent subway car, and gotten a little choked up while listening. I’m convinced that Lorraine is the second coming of Jesus (like Drake, another great black Jew).

    Genuine, Relatable, Informative!
    This podcast is great because it tracks the cultural education of two bright women in real-time. The content covered, although Black and Jewish centered, is kinda mind blowing and relevant regardless of your walk-of-life. Also, they're funny! You feel like you're having discussion with your best friends. I know it sounds like I'm gushing, but I will say that Lorraine and Sarah really have been consistently improving their format, and I can't wait to continue listening!

    creepy lady at the gym
    I burst out laughing on the floor of the gym listening to the steve mnuchin pronunciation video from a recent episode. I didn’t care. also- laughing and crunches are good for the core right? Sara and Lorraine are the best, and i love the references to maryland, dc suburbs, and of course Vassar!! I’ve been spreading the word about this podcast!!! can’t wait for more!

    Love learning up with Lorraine and Sarah!
    Tried to watch Sanford and sons once. Didn’t get through the first episode but now I think I’ll try it again. Thanks Learnt Up for making my commute so much more bearable! (FYI goiters are related to thyroid disorders)

    Hanging out with Sarah and Lorraine is the best!
    Every time a new episode drops and that podcast notification blips onto the screen, it feels like I just got a text to come hang out with cool and funny friends. Lorraine and Sarah invite you to sit at the table and learn some things and laugh some things as they explore and share the things they've discovered. A must listen!

    Get Learnt Up
    Truly love this podcast. Lorraine and Sarah have such a genuine rapport, and the topics they choose to explore are really interesting. The discussions on social issues and identity exploration that these topics generate even more so. Highly recommend.

    School in a podcast
    I never realized how much history class left out before listening to this show. The hosts really do their homework and do a great job in providing so much that I should have known in a way that is thoroughly entertaining. Thanks Learnt Up!

    These ladies rule, the end
    From the premise to the weekly themes to the rapport between these two hosts, this podcast is a great mix of entertaining and educational. Listen up and get learnt up!

    Smart and Funny Brains
    I could hear these two talk for hours. They're smart, funny and bring up great points about sterotypes, assumptions and everything in between. Treat your ears 'n brains, everybody.
  • maxzinser
    It's like 2 Dope Queens but Jewier. Genius.
    Truly offensive! Keep up the good work! Jk, I enjoyed listening to this and the first episode inspired me to see both Schindler's List and Roots (I, too, am a bad Jew and an even worse black person). Bravo and can’t wait to hear more! Also the Oscar for Best Original Score goes to Adam Isaacson.
