Artist turned activist Jonah Platt felt he had no other choice but to stand strong as a voice for the Jewish community.
About a year ago, the “Wicked” actor saw a gap in the podcasting space that he believed he could fill as a proud, Jewish public figure. As ideas floated in his head about what this could look like, Hamas horrifically attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and killed over 1200 people. Platt realized that being a Jewish advocate mattered now more than ever.
“Oct. 7 happened, and I had been seeing that I am able to provide a service to folks on social media — help them as a filter, as a contextualizer, as a calm voice in this chaotic time,” Platt told TheWrap.
