60-60: Israeli Elections for Dummies
by Vanina Pikholc & Noy Carmel
An English speaking podcast about the Israeli elections. In 60-60, an Olah Hadasha and her Israeli partner interview Israeli political activists representing different parties, in an effort to make sense of the unstable electoral scenario, and decide who to vote for. We hope this journey will help the listeners (and creators) to understand the tense Israeli dynamics better, and to make the most honest and thoughtful decision regarding their vote. Moreover, if we also get to re-engage those who lost their faith in the democratic system, that is a civic duty win. 60-60 is produced and edited by Vanina Pikholc and Noy Carmel.
