Welcome back to the home of the oxymoron. Evil genius. He asked the newspaper to print his obituary early so he'd enjoy it. That's like hiding at your own funeral. Yeah, it's a big, great gig. I'm Russell Kane. Join me to weigh in on whether the biggest players in history are more evil or genius. Becoming that rich, I'd say that at some level of genius. It also helps that it's a long time ago, right?

It's like the podcast version of telling your kids the ice cream van plays music when it's out of ice cream.

Listen to evil genius on BBC Sounds.

Hello, tonight on free thinking, we'll hear from Israeli academic Shlomo Sand,

who's written a book with the

not-a-all-controversial title, How I Stoped Being a Jew. We'll hear from the Echt Goyshire

journalist and one-time Queen of the Groucho Club, Julie Birchell, about why she nearly converted to

Judaism and why she's still learning Hebrew. But first, we're off to the Theatre Royal Stratford East

to hear a new musical, The Infidel,

an everyday story of a middle-aged Muslim minicab driver

who suddenly finds out he was adopted

and that he was born Jewish.

The idea started as a hit 2010 film, The Infidel,

starring Omid Jalili,

and scripted by comedian David Bediel.

You're adopted at the age of two weeks.

My birth name, I need to know.

I'm afraid not.

Can I just look at that, please?

Sully Shim Silowitz. Solihshilowitz.

Soli Shimshilowitz.

Why didn't they just call you Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, and be done with it?
