Hey there, I'm David Kern.

I'm Heidi White.

And I'm Tim McIntosh.

And you are listening to Close Reads, a podcast for the Incurable Reader, on which we are discussing Joshua Cohen's book, The Netanyahu's.

We're going to discuss the final four chapters, which allows us to discuss the book as a whole.

Of course, next week,

we will dig into your questions. So if you would like to leave a question for us to discuss next

week, please do so over on closereads.substack.com, where we have our post and the thread for

Q&A there. I'm sure there will be lots of questions because we're only doing three episodes on this plus the Q&A.

So there's going to be a lot of stuff that we're not able to cover particular passages,

particular issues that we're not going to be covering in detail until someone asks about it

and tells us what they want to hear about.

So before we get into that, though, Heidi, Tim, how's it going?

That's really good.

Yeah, really good.

We have like seven inches of snow in our house today.

Whoa.

Called everything off, it's just been an at-home day, no piano lessons, no guitar

lessons, no anything.

How nice.

So nice.

Yeah, I'm sure as nice it is as it is to be doing things and be active, it's also nice to do nothing.
