  • Jonathan and the virtue signaling

    After 10/7, this podcast was so helpful to gain perspective. It was multifaceted with diverse guests. Lately, Jonathan seems to have gone off the rails, parroting propaganda from leftist media. The show changed drastically. Episodes with Yonit are still relatively balanced and have greater journalistic integrity. I wish the podcast could go back to its earlier days of various perspectives and good information vs endless moralizing.

  • If it wasnt for yonit…

    Jonathan is wildly out of touch and you can tell he has no awareness of his privilege in safety. Normally its fine because they balance eachother out, but lately, is personal desire to receive less criticism as a Jew or zionist from the world outweighs his protection of jewish life. The complete dismissal of hamas profiting off of aid as irrelevant is astounding.

  • Nuseir as guest host is the sweet spot

    I really wish it was always Yonit and Nuseir doing this podcast. He is more authentic, positive, and charitable while somehow still being objective. I really appreciate his untainted prospective. Yonit, of course, is always good. Thank you both.
