  • Jack Kirby: Street Brawler, Swastika Smasher and Father of the Marvel Universe
    2025/07/10
    Jack Kirby was a scrappy Jewish kid from the Lower East Side who threw fists at bullies before joining the fight against Nazis in Europe as a U.S. soldier. In this episode, hosts Aaron Berg and Andrew Davidsburg tell the story of how this mensch with serious chutzpah went from back-alley brawls to co-creating some of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes including Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Hulk. He didn’t just draw heroes he lived like one turning grit, heart, and talent into a legacy that still inspires today.

  • The Mighty Atom: Bender of Bars, Breaker of Chains, Basher of Antisemite Keppies
    2025/06/26
    Before there was Captain America, there was The Mighty Atom. On this episode of Badass Jews, hosts Aaron Berg and Andrew Davidsburg dive into the unbelievable true story of Joseph Greenstein—a 5-foot-tall strongman with sidecurls, superhuman strength, and a heaping dose of chutzpah. He bent steel with his bare hands, bit through chains, and bashed bigots without breaking a sweat. From circus arenas to street fights with fascists, Greenstein wasn’t just strong, he was a one-man wrecking crew in a tank top.
