Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 2 | Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions.
Almost every episode, we run out of time before we run out of questions. We save them, and these episodes give us a chance to at last give answers. Edwin will also accept questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for a no holds barred, nothing-off-the-table session.
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 1 | Third-grade students, including Jewish kids, at Watkins Elementary School in Washington DC were allegedly instructed by a staff member to reenact scenes from the Holocaust, including gassing, digging ditches for bodies, and shootings. Antisemitic remarks were also reported. What the hell has happened? What the hell is happening? Is this a mere school mishap to be regretted … or criminal child abuse to be prosecuted? A stand will must now be taken. Famed civil rights attorney Nathan Lewin, Washington DC JCRC associate director Guila Siegel, and StandWithUs legal director Yael Lerman join Edwin.
Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 47 | The Vintage Boys are back to bring in the new year—and we can't wait. We’ll be arguing over the best whiskey and wine while probing current events and history—and debating what the year ahead will hold. Jeff Morgan in Napa Valley, Sheldon Freilich in Detroit, Kenneth Abramowitz in Palm Beach, Joshua London in DC, and Zalmi Unsdorfer in London join Edwin. Bring your own libation.
Air Date: | Edwin, Carol, and Team Black wish everyone health, prosperity, and joy for the coming year.
While we’re on hiatus, please enjoy this encore presentation of “The Uyghur Genocide—the World is Not Watching” (S2 E18) and then join us on December 30 as we welcome the Vintage Boys for another informative, illuminating—and celebratory—exploration of our fragmented world, our turbulent history, our very, very tense present, and our evolving and uncertain future.
Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 46 | Duke University settled formal complaints of grave antisemitism just last year. Community leaders are astonished—and mobilized—now that formal recognition of the Students Supporting Israel chapter has been summarily vetoed by student government leadership. SSI President Ilan Sinelnikov and Brandeis Center President Alyza Lewin join Edwin.
Air Date: | When all nations failed, only one group—the Zionist Organization—had the courage to boldly face the Nazi hierarchy to save 60,000 German Jews, transferring them to Jewish Palestine with their assets to build a new life—as Moses had done millennia before. Now the story will be told.
Famed New York Times bestseller Edwin Black, author of IBM and the Holocaust, has authorized this first-ever translation of his critically acclaimed and revelatory book, The Transfer Agreement, published in Brazil as Haavara, by Idea Editora. Haavara is Hebrew for "transfer."
Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 45 | For generations, the Arabs of Jewish Palestine denied any national identity. In 1948, the Arabs invaded. Jewish land was stolen—and Arabs voted to be citizens of Jordan. In 1964, the Arabs expropriated the Jewish Palestinian identity. In the 1990s, the Oslo Accords mapped out a two-state solution. Since then, every peace breakthrough has been rejected by the Arab Palestinians. Is a two-state solution still viable? Middle East historian Mordechai Kedar and Hudson Institute Foreign Policy Fellow Josh Block join Edwin.
Air Date: | The Edwin Black Show is on hiatus for Thanksgiving. Edwin, Carol, and Team Black wish everyone blessings and abundance on this day set aside for giving thanks.
Please rejoin us on December 2nd for another informative, incisive, and illuminating exploration of our fragmented world, our turbulent history, our very very tense present, and our evolving and uncertain future.

Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 44 | More than a century ago, Thomas Edison attempted to steer the US toward electric cars. Several factors intervened to allow internal combustion to become the engine of the 20th century, including World War I and possible sabotage by petroleum interests. Automotive historian Marc Rauch and Yossie Hollander of the Fuel Freedom Foundation join Edwin to examine the past, present, and possible future of electric cars, and what they can—and cannot—solve.
