The Uproar
Podcast Description
Welcome to The Uproar.
The Uproar brings you the stories from inside Columbia’s gates that outside news organizations miss or ignore when reporting on Columbia’s central role in university responses to protests, antisemitism, and the war against Hamas.
This moment in history can’t go untold, and it’s important that our stories are told by us. We'll engage in difficult questions, and -- hopefully -- everyone will be feel challenged at one point or another. Thanks for being here.

October 7th changed the world, and it also changed Columbia University. I'm here to tell you all about it. This episode covers the spring semester 2024 at Columbia right up until the encampments, which will get their own episode 'cause man that shtuss was crazy.
This episode was edited by an awesome person who shall remain nameless. Music is by Marc Luban. Fact-checking, script, and attempts at jokes all done by me. This episode is dedicated to Oriya Goshen z”l, my friend who fell in battle in Gaza and whose positive outlook on life uplifted everyone around him. May his neshama have an aliya and may his memory be for a blessing.
Correction: At 21:30, I attribute a quote to Professor Franke which was actually said by Professor Khalidi.
Note: Yes, a congresswoman did say globalize the infantada. Maybe she meant globalize the infrittata? Who doesn't love a good breakfast frittata!
