Noah, author and professor Alon Tal, and legendary tour guide William Slott discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

We discuss the morality of archaeology. Our lives: A late-interim review The three panelists discuss whether or not they made a huge existential mistake in moving to Israel, as they decided to do together, when kids in a Zionist youth movement.   All songs by Darling Angels: Something For Your Pain Life Isn't A Fair Game I Got A Woman, And She Loves Me Mad By The Light Of The Moon
