  • Great conversations

    I’m so thrilled to have recently discovered this podcast. I’ve enjoyed more than half a dozen episodes already, and thanks to being late to the party, I don’t even have to wait to listen to new (to me) conversations. I love not only the topics covered, but also the easy conversational style that Margarita has when chatting with her guests. These are people I’m excited to get to know and a fun way to meet them.

  • Unique interviews, talented host

    The host Margarita has a really great interviewing style that makes her episodes flow like a super organic conversation. She has a skill to really listen to the guest, and direct conversations in a very productive manner. I appreciate the unique subjects, from politics to culture, and she even invites controversial guests with whom she disagrees. The conversations are always respectful and immensely informative, and entertaining.

The Case For Liberal Zionism - Shanie Reichman
Q: What do you want them to know about Israel? About anything, about your work, about the future of Israel's democracy.

The Case For Liberal Zionism - Shanie Reichman
Q: You would describe yourself as a liberal Zionist? I want you to explain to the listener what that means in your words.

Lindsay Pinchuk: It's Never Wrong to Do What's Right
Q: How are you talking to your daughters about this time?
Pinchuk says she answers her daughters honestly and in age-appropriate terms, and leads by example. She described explaining the events and hostage situation factually to her younger daughter, then writing to the principal when her daughter felt unsafe after a classmate wore a “From the River to the Sea” shirt.
Lindsay Pinchuk: It's Never Wrong to Do What's Right
Q: What do you make of the landscape today?
Pinchuk says Jewish social media has seen more people speaking out and finding community, alongside increasing divisions and infighting. She argues that fighting antisemitism should not depend on political affiliation and calls for Jewish communities to work together.
Rabbi Wolpe - What Happened to Jewish Peoplehood?
Q: If you had, let's say, a minute to chat with a college student who was feeling insecure on college campus about being Jewish, what do you think you'd tell them?
Wolpe would remind the student of the Jewish thinkers and leaders whose legacy they inherit, and encourage them to choose an audience whose opinions they respect when deciding what to say. He also says that changing minds requires patience and genuine listening.
