A series, not a single speaker
Inside ArtScroll is not a person giving shiurim — it is an ongoing interview series produced around the world of ArtScroll and Mesorah Publications. Each installment is a conversation rather than a lecture, released in numbered episodes across seasons (you will see entries like Episode 4:18 or 5:2). The format is a host sitting down with a guest from the ArtScroll world, so what you are really hearing is the human story behind the books that fill so many Jewish homes.
The guests span the full ArtScroll universe. Episodes have featured Rabbi Nosson Scherman, ArtScroll's longtime general editor, along with beloved authors such as Libby Lazewnik and Miriam Zakon, writers like Shmuel Botnick, and Torah scholars including Rabbi Daniel Glatstein. The result is a rotating cast of voices rather than one recurring teacher.
What the conversations cover
The through-line is the making of Torah literature: how a sefer or a book comes to be, the research and editing behind it, and the people who devote years to getting a single volume right. For anyone who has ever wondered how the seforim on their shelf were built, these interviews open a door that a standard shiur never would.
Some episodes are warm retrospectives — a "trip down memory lane" with a senior figure — while others profile one author, one book, or one moment in ArtScroll's history. It is Jewish publishing history told by the people who lived it, which is why the tone stays conversational and personal rather than academic.
Who will enjoy it
If your family owns and loves ArtScroll seforim, this series is a natural companion. It rewards curiosity about the mesorah of translation, the choices behind a commentary, and the personalities who shaped a generation of English-language Torah.
Because it is interview-driven, it is easy, pleasant listening rather than demanding study. That makes it well suited to a drive or a quiet evening, and a gentle way to appreciate the enormous effort behind the books so many people take for granted.
