Incredibly impressive research and writing
I’m always inspired and moved by this podcast, as well as entertained by the humor and the beautiful musical interludes. Noah always teaches me something fascinating about Israeli history, and vividly brings to life what it’s like to live in Tel Aviv as a curious and engaged citizen and close observer of everyday life and current culture.

I always learn something new and the music gives balance! Definitely give it a listen!
