“What I love about the show is the amount of space given to the guests to unfurl their thoughts ... this is slow dialogue that goes in depth ... a wonderful relief from caffeinated combat journalism.”

“Really excellent. Sophisticated discussions on history, culture, politics, religion and more. Sober and respectful, not polemical. And the episodes age well, meaning a dive through the archive is well-rewarded. Five stars without a doubt.”

“This is a fantastic podcast. I find myself binge listening a number of ‘episodes’ in a row for an intellectual vacation - a wide range of interesting topics covered at a depth we rarely get to see and in an honest and thoughtful way. This level of thinking seems so absent from many other sources:...”Read full review »

“Tel Aviv Review has really blown me away. I was looking for a decent podcast Jewish culture and history, including antisemitism, and was having trouble finding one that wasn’t boring, pedantic or superficial. Then I stumbled on TAR. I must say it is simply among the most engaging interview...”Read full review »

“I really like this podcast. Lots of high-quality discussion of interesting topics, many of which not touched upon by the media in my country (us). Only flaw is the tendency of the female host to interrupt the guest, often while they are making an interesting point. Recommend highly”

“The hosts are extremely professional and the subject material can be very interesting. However, I prefer when there is more fact of the subject rather than trying to persuade listeners towards a liberal ideology. Information is great, but cutting others in the tribe down is not the way to do it....”Read full review »
