The “Bread & Circuses” Edition
Category: Religion & Spirituality
Duration: 01:31:28
Publish Date: 2025-05-22 15:08:00
Description:

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.
