Hey Israel Story listeners, it's Mishi.

I'm recording this in the midst of our hibernation period.

That time of year when we go off-grid into the world of radio silence and work around the clock on stories for our next season.

Season 4 ended with our 50th episode and now we look forward to 50 more.

And that's actually why I'm recording this.

We need your help.

We need to know what worked, what didn't work, what you like, what you don't like,

and most of all, we need to know more about who you are.

So we've prepared a listener survey.

I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit long, but I'm also gonna be completely honest when I tell you

that nothing, literally nothing, helps us more than analyzing the data we receive from these surveys.

Really, this is instrumental in terms of planning ahead, applying for grants, selling sponsorships and advertisements,

basically all the things that allow us to produce the show and continue bringing it to you for free.

So go to our website Israelstory.org and you'll see a big pop up that directs you to the survey.

Again that's Israel Story.org.

Alternatively you can access the survey directly at Israel Story.org

slash survey. That's Israel Story.org

slash survey.

We really appreciate you taking the time to fill this out.

Lastly, I'll take the opportunity to remind you that March 10th is the deadline for applications for the next cohort of our awesome internship program.

So if you or someone you know is interested in podcasting, storytelling, journalism, or really

anything we do here at Israel's story, apply, apply. For details, go to Israel Story.org
