  • Zoe is another cool host from Australia. She is Canadian as well, and believe many in Canada need to listen to our messages. Not Zoe. I appreciate how she steers me into a discussion about whether our book can help change people’s attitudes towards hatred and antisemitism.

    She is also a prolific writer and has several books each with several awards! I like the format of her podcast, especially the three quick questions at the end. It reminds me of 30–30 on ESPN.
