Disloyal is a podcast about art, culture, and history from the Jewish Museum of Maryland and uses the Museum’s exhibits, programs, and collections as launchpads for talking about the political, cultural, and spiritual trends that are shaping the world today through a distinctively Jewish lens. The podcast title, Disloyal, is a response to the antisemitic trope that holds that Jews are disloyal, especially to the state, and a response to how social, religious, and political issues are often understood in terms of loyalty and disloyalty within Jewish communities.

In Disloyal, we ask:

What does it mean to be loyal or disloyal, to a people, to a state, to an idea, to an artistic practice, to a family, to a political commitment?

Disloyal is currently on hiatus but was previously co-hosted and produced by Naomi Weintraub, JMM’s Public Art Coordinator, and Mark Gunnery, JMM’s former Director of Communications + Content.
