Feed Me Bubbe was a Jewish cooking show that was produced on a shoestring budget, starring Bertha Jonas. "Bubbe" is the Yiddish word for "Grandmother." Jonas's grandson Avrom introduces each show from Bubbe's kitchen in Worcester, Massachusetts declaring that "Bubbe" is one of the three words he needs to know when he is hungry and looking for Kosher food.[1][2][3]
History
The series was produced by Chalutz Productions (so called because Chalutz is Hebrew for "pioneer"). Feed Me Bubbe is part of the new trend in podcasting known as "Vodcast."
Being mentioned in British newspapers, as well as Avrom and Bubbe being guests or highlighted on many other podcasts, has led to Feed Me Bubbe quickly gaining a wide audience and becoming noted.
In each episode Bubbe introduces a recipe, teaches how to cook it, and shares stories from her past; also included is a feature entitled "Yiddish Word of the Day," in which Avrom learns a new Yiddish word from Bubbe. A more recently added segment—"Ask Bubbe"—features Bubbe answering viewer questions and feedback.
Jonas died on August 7, 2014.[4] Her husband Bernard ("Zaide", Yiddish for grandfather) died May 18, 2015.
The first episode was released on Instant Media on June 16, 2006. Each episode is approximately 7 to 15 minutes long.
Feed Me Bubbe was one of the shows launched by Instant Media Network. Within its first month over 300 subscribers had made Feed Me Bubbe one of the network's most popular vodcasts. In the first annual Vloggie Awards Feed Me Bubbe was nominated in the cooking category.
