Mamas' Boys are joined by veteran DC newsman and author Jake Tapper, who digs into how masculinity and power play out in Washington today, shares how he presents himself as a Jewish man in a world that's gotten tough on both, and takes a deep dive into how he became the man he is as a teen at Camp Ramah!

Mamas' Boys is a production FJMC International, the oldest and largest community for men connection to the Jewish community; and the Foundation for Jewish Life that supports innovative programming for men connection to the Jewish community; and Pink Poodle Productions.
