On Unorthodox, Irin Carmon Talks 'Notorious RBG,' and Kathryn Hahn Describes Playing a Rabbi on Amazon's 'Transparent'
This week on Unorthodox: America’s most badass Supreme Court Justice and TV’s most visible rabbi.
Our Jewish guest is MSNBC reporter Irin Carmon, whose new book, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is the rare biography that seamlessly includes rap lyrics, annotations of Ginsburg’s legal writings, and a photograph of Ginsburg and fellow Justice Antonin Scalia atop an elephant in India. She tells us about RBG’s recent turn as meme-inspiration and feminist pop culture icon, her important role on the Supreme Court today, and the octogenarian’s impressive workout routine.
