In this gala return of the Podcast, Miriam and Noah talk about (A) What this thing with Iran is, (1) Whether these days we’re seeing a new, more Strangelovian Prime Minister Netanyahu, and (2) What life underground in the homefront tells us about Israeli society at this strange moment.
Plus some really good music that sounds more or less how we feel these days.
For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Miriam and Noah talk about their lives during wartime. Is it really true that it ain’t no disco, it ain’t no party, it ain’t no fooling around?

Thank you thank you thank you
Growing up with Eric Burdon’s 1964 haunting rendition of “The House of the Rising Sun” left a lasting impression on me. Hearing Maayan Litnik pair that same iconic melody with “Lecha Dodi” was a stroke of brilliance—it was so powerful it actually gave me chills.
