How could you possibly conduct this interview without asking about - or the author raising- the NYTimes best selling book by Judy Batalion’s, Light of Days, which won countless awards including the National Jewish Book Award and which virtually covers the same material? So you just pretend it doesn’t exist?That is disingenuous and a real disservice to your readers.
Enjoy listening to all of the content, thank you. Please lower the volume of your advertisers. It can get pretty obnoxious and makes listening difficult.
I love the discussants and books chosen for this podcast and rarely skip an episode. They have taught me a lot. My only gripe is the non-engaged, non-sequitur, book report-like style of questioning of the interviewer. The questions are good but they break up the flow of the conversation, keeping it from being the deep discussion that could otherwise result from more carefully woven lines of questioning.
Wow! I just found this podcast and already bought a book. I have lots of episodes to listen to. Looking forward to it!
Whatever the topic is, I will listen to any and all hosted by Ari Barbalat!
