  • This podcast is a gift

    What sets What Came After apart is Marcus’s approach: not just as a host, but as a witness. With the grounding empathy of a therapist and the narrative instinct of a documentarian, she brings listeners into rooms—literal and emotional—where survivors and Israeli’s from across the political and religious spectrum speak openly about loss, confusion, laughter, solidarity, and the quiet defiance of continuing on. These are not soundbites. These are stories allowed to breathe.
