Farewell Event and Lunch - Program by Israel Story
Israel Story
Several years ago, a group of four young Israelis—friends since childhood—got to work making a Hebrew-language radio show inspired by This American Life, the public-radio show two of them had grown to love while living in the United States. They wanted something to listen to that was akin to the Ira Glass-hosted program with which they’d become obsessed. So, though they had never before made a radio story, they rolled up their sleeves to create what eventually became Sipur Israeli.
This year, the men—Ro’ee Gilron, Mishy Harman, Yochai Maital and Shai Satran—decided they wanted to make their show available to English speakers, too. They went back to many of the people they had interviewed for stories and spoke to them again, this time in English, for a miniseries, called Israel Story. Israel Story, launched as a podcast, is filled with surprising, suspenseful, and entertaining tales of the weird, the absurd, and the poignant.
