Summary

"Ask Haviv Anything" is a podcast about history, a podcast you, dear listener, will help to shape and direct, focusing not just on what I want to talk about but on what you want to learn and discuss. Nothing is off limits. We're going to talk about big and painful things, and also beautiful and fascinating things, wars and identities and painful history. And also more light-hearted things. Humor matters, especially when facing tough subjects.

1:12.8	around me and a crowd of students I could see. I haven't really had this experience of building
1:20.2	out a platform where I have a conversation over these sort of digital airways. And so this is

1:43.7	is useful to you and to audiences. And if you agree,
