    Whatever the topic is, I will listen to any and all hosted by Ari Barbalat!

    Unfollowing due to ep. 86
    The show interviews an author and an 'activist' agitating against the very existance of the only Jewish state.. this individual makes endless unsubstantiated vague convoluted obsessively anti-Israel claims for the entirety of the episode and no follow up questions are asked at any point. This person's words are accepted as the absolute undeniable truth, as if examining information is not one of the most core values of Jewishness. For example, this individual makes a claim that "of course it is much easier for Israel to fight its attackers in the court of law rather than the court of public opinion" and then the interview just moves on, simply accepting this claim as the absolute truth and never examining this statement and what it actually means, but instead making further and further vague claims based on that initial accusation... and that's the way the entire episode works. The show has been just boring up until ep. 86, but now one has to wonder what is this show even about?

    Great podcast
    Great podcast. One criticism: the sound editor overlaps the end of a question with the beginning of an answer

    Great interviews
    This is a very varied and fascinating group of scholars. Interviews are an in depth discussion of their current work. Introduces compelling topics I would otherwise been un aware even existed

    Great Podcast
    Interesting and diverse. The previous reviews are definitely from the podcast's earlier days, and the production value now is quite high. Keep it up!

    Love listening to these.
    I enjoy these very much. They could be longer for me. I also recommend improving the quality of the sound!
