Podcasts about extra special

We chat about Donny's fabulous MAGA Parade and the incredible "No Kings"  demonstrations throughout the United States. We then talk about the possibility of the Cheetos Mussolini taking us off to another Mid East War. What Could Possibly Go Wrong????!!! There is a puppet show. Pull up a chair...

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron talk about (1) whether and how this week's war on Iran reshapes our understanding of the more than 20 months of war in Gaza that preceded it, and (2) what we can learn from a moving essay by American journalist Isaac Saul called, “I think I'm Leaving Zionism, or Zionism is Leaving Me.” All this and what we learn about Iran from the Persians living among us, and music by these self-same Persians. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: What it is like, living from siren-to-siren, shelter-to-shelter (Spoiler alert: Scary and weird, with surprising moments of grace.)

Sara Yael Hirschhorn, Noah Efron and beloved prodigal podcaster Ilene Prusher talk about (1) The vote to disperse the Knesset that looked like it would succeed, until it failed and (2) Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to give guns to a Gaza militia run by a former drug-lord, ISIS support: What could go wrong? All this and a fight in the Knesset over women wearing tfillin, and new songs of LGBTQ pride! Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: What's it like these days to teach on an American campus, and to raise Israeli-born kids on the mean streets of Boca Raton? World famous journalist and professor Ilene Prusher's got some answers.

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron talk about (1) How the left and right disagree about whether Israel ought to end the fighting in Gaza “now” and “forever”, and what these disagreements say about each political position and (2) Plans to disrupt the wedding of Avner Netanyahu, the son of the Prime Minister, and whether or not it's o.k. to disrupt the family life of politicians one disagrees with. All this and a meditation on anti-Israel protestors, and another on when wildlife is not wild life. Plus, the infused-with-spirit music of Hovav Paller. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: The weird and scary moment we find ourselves in, after a guy in Boulder, Colorado improvises a flamethrower to immolate mid-aged Jews running a 5K in support of the hostages in Gaza, this just a couple of weeks after two Israeli embassy workers are murdered in DC. Are these things awful anomalies or just the new (awful) normal?

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron talk about (1) Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to reinstate the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza: why did this happen now and why the hell did it not happen before; and (2) What we learn (if anything) from the fact that Israel won the popular vote in this week's Eurovision Song Contest, and what we learn (if anything) from the fact that Israel came in 15th (!) in the contest's professional “jury” vote, and what we learn (if anything) from juxtaposing the two votes. All this and the sixtieth anniversary of the execution-by-hanging of Eli Cohen, “our man in Damascus”.  Plus, more music of these times. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Yair Golan, head of the “Democrats Party” (what used to be Labor and Meretz), says that Israel “wages war against civilians” and “kills babies for a hobby”. Well, what can you say to that?

Linda Gradstein, Sara Hirschhorn and Noah Efron talk about (1) The “Pacts Americana,” being the trade and investment pacts that US President Donald Trump is reaching with Gulf states on his visit to the region this week, and where it leaves Israel; and (2) The “Cracks Americana,” being awkward ambivalence some Israelis feel about a hostage being released solely because he has an American passport and the American government intervened on his behalf, doing what Israel's government could not or would not do. All this and the return of a fallen soldier after 43 years, plus more music of these times. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Why does Israel go to such great length to return the bodies of soldiers and hostages killed and held beyond our borders?
