Yonit Levi of Israel's Channel 12 News and Jonathan Freedland of The Guardian are two of the most prominent journalists in the world today. They are also Jews. Each week, join what MSNBC's Rachel Maddow calls "two great, smart smart smart hosts" as they dissect and debate current events shaping Israel, Jewish life - and the wider world. Their blend of nuanced discussion and sparkling conversation, featuring a dazzling range of guests, is why New Yorker editor David Remnick calls himself a “proud, avid listener," why Ira Glass says he "completely enjoys this show" and why Malcolm Gladwell calls it an "incredibly fun podcast". For a weekly fix of globally informed talk – including nominations for the greatest act of chutzpah and outstanding mensch of the previous seven days – there’s only one destination. Make every Friday morning Unholy.

Conversations We Love: Helen Mirren
It won't be long until we return to our regular broadcasting, but while we take advantage of the last days of summer break (as we hope you've been able to do, preferably with something refreshing in hand) - we've chosen to air one of our most special interviews to date.
This July, we were lucky enough to sit down with non other than Oscar winner Dame Helen Mirren, who visited Israel to promote her new film, Golda, in which she portrays the female Israeli prime minister during the Yom Kippur War. Listen to learn how Mirren got in character, how she deals with ageism in Hollywood, plus - why she'd join the protestors against the judicial overhaul.
“Golda” opens in theaters on August 25.
