About this episode
Linda Gradstein, Gilad Halpern and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon —Findings— The IDF shares its investigation of itself and what it did and did not do on October 7 with the victims of the attack on a community-by-community basis. Is this the sort of investigation we need? —No Other Land— The Palestinian-Israeli movie up for an Oscar next week for best documentary feature, "No Other Land," is about an ongoing effort of the IDF to evict Palestinians from a contested tract of land in the West Bank. What we do and don't learn from it? —Podcasts = the Death of Civilization— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Are podcasts the death of civilization (wonder three long-time podcasters)? All this and counting our blessings, plus brand new music of our troubled times.
