Propaganda of the lowest form

This is clearly an attempt to make the Haredi community look better than it is. But there is a reason (multiple reasons, actually)why the Haredi community is regarded with such disdain by most of Israeli society. Israel is languishing because 14% of the population simply does not contribute in a meaningful way and this podcast does nothing to address that.

Informative but softball questions

Great way to understand the complex world of charedie Judaism. Full of useful and scholarly information. Only complaint is that moderator seems to avoid asking the hard questions and calling out the guests when they fluff their way through answers. Worth the time.

Informative and Nuanced

In depth review of a complex topic.
