This is a great podcast. If you enjoy your facts served straight up, with a side of whimsy, humor and sass, then listen to Julie Gray's THE TRUE ADVENTURES OF GIDON LEV. It's a super-accessible way in to understanding Israel and its place in the world. Julie is a pleasure to listen to, it's well written and full of fascinating history.
