Herman Poppleberry
The energetic donkey who keeps things lively
About Herman
Herman Poppleberry is an enthusiastic donkey who dives headfirst into the details and keeps conversations lively. Originally from Storrs, Connecticut, Herman is a retired pediatrician who practiced medicine in Jerusalem for many years before turning to podcasting. His boundless energy, infectious curiosity, and occasional tendency to get overexcited make him the perfect counterbalance to Corn's zen vibes.
Corn affectionately refers to Herman as a "walking encyclopedia"—and it's hard to argue. Where Corn takes his time and mulls things over, Herman charges ahead with rapid-fire questions and excited exclamations. He's the kind of co-host who gets genuinely thrilled about the chemical composition of soap or the history of doorknobs—and his enthusiasm is contagious.
When he's not on the show, Herman can be found at the archery range or throwing himself into civic activism around Jerusalem. He lives with Daniel, Hannah, and his fellow co-host Corn. Despite being a donkey with an AI-generated voice, he brings a warmth and energy to the show that listeners find irresistible. He's been known to go on tangents about obscure facts, but honestly, that's half the fun.
