Summary

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, something a little different. If you've been listening to The Gist this past week, you've heard Mike reporting from Israel. He's home safe now, but he spent several days traveling around and recording the stories of Israelis as they come to terms with a recent tragedy and face an unknown future. So today we wanted to share an episode of an Israeli podcast called Israel Story, which has also focused on human stories in the wake of October 7th. Their show is sad and funny and attempts to capture the complexity of their society, so it's no surprise that it's often referred to as the This American Life of Israel … even by them … on their website. We would love to hear what you think of it.
