I have decided to give this a listen and was surprised by the shallow knowledge on both sides. The episode was with Noam Dworman. I have lived in Israel for nearly 45 years. At least the guest admitted that his opinions were based on one journalist. Yet he feels qualified to opine on issues that he really has no skin in the game. For others they are life and death.
Ariel has deep, insightful intelligent conversations with fantastic interlocutors and has the brilliance and humility to let his guests have all the air-time. A necessary podcast.
There is no noise, just well paced, well produced conversations. The guests he’s able to get are amazing. The host doesn’t get in the way. Love it.
Great host, great guests, important topics. To take it to the next level, Ariel could ask more open ended questions, and give the guests more time to answer.
Always interesting and informative.
