Losing Our Story?
Etgar Keret joins us to discuss his favorite literary form, the impact of AI on storytelling and the power of literature post-Oct 7.
The “Saw It on YouTube!” Edition
We talk about President Herzog’s alarmed warning that we are turning into animals, and PM Netanyahu’s very viral election ad, about how leftist-wing sorts make right-wing sorts feel like less.
Air It Out
The Hebrew word for air is אוויר, while אווירה is atmosphere/ambience. There are other interesting words taken from אוויר, like fluffy or ceiling fan.
The “Fronts” Edition
We talk about the war with Iran and the peace with Gaza, and how US President Donald Trump’s diplomatic ADD makes it close to impossible for anything good to come of our miserable wars.
