About this episode
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and Sally Abed discuss three 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 Link to Give to Standing Together —This Would Not Have Happened a Year Ago— United Arab List head, Dr. Mansour Abbas, says that Israel always has been, and always will be a Jewish State, it's time for everyone to accept that. How big a deal is that? —Sara— Did we have Sara all wrong, all along? —This Is Reality, Itamar!— Politicians, professors and pundits are all turning up on Reality TV. Is gravitas dead? —"Happy" New Year?— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we talk about how this New Year's finds us: Down in the Duldrummy dumps? Ready to break out? Dazed and confused? Guardedly optimistic? Weirdly sober? It's kind of a window into our souls! All this and the music of Gedy Ronen!
