Episode #1223: Israel at Eurovision: 2000-2025
Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present Israel's official entry to Eurovision 2025, "New Day Will Rise" by Yuval Rafael. And while we're at it, it's been a while since we've done an hour of Israeli Eurovision songs, so let's do that today, shall we? But this time, we're going to skip the beloved Israeli classics from the 70s and 80s, focusing instead on our entries over the past 25 years, since 2000. With a lot of big hits and even a few misses, you're sure to hear some songs you haven't heard in a while...for better or for worse. What's your all-time favorite Israeli Eurovision entry? Your least favorite? Tell us via WhatsApp at +1-732-844-9778. (Original Air Date: March 16, 2025)

Episode #1222: Israeli Music - Funny Side Up
We all know - all too well - that the past 17 months have been painful and emotional to say the least. But with Purim on the way, it's a good time to allow ourselves to smile and laugh. Purim reminds us that sometimes, when life looks as dark as can be, the most incredible miracles suddenly come to life. That things are not always what they seem. That life can change dramatically at the drop of a hat. So this Purim, we're giving ourselves permission to LAUGH by sharing humorous Israeli songs along with some great Israel-related stand-up comedy. Join us for a fun hour, and be prepared to leave happy! (Original Air Date: March 9, 2025)

Episode #1219: We Are Family
The news cycle has so many ups and downs these days, that it can be hard to remember the specific highs and lows. Back on February 8, 2025, Hamas released three hostages: Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi, and Or Levy. Sure, we were overjoyed that they were back home with their families, but we felt downright sick upon seeing their emaciated bodies and pained expressions. As we try to process these emotions...it's suddenly time to go on the air. What could we possibly play during a time like this? Well, songs about family seemed especially appropriate. At a time when family means more than ever, let's hold our loved ones close and get ready for a variety of Israeli songs about our fathers, mothers, siblings, children, even aunts and uncles. Then, take a breath and await tomorrow's news. (Original Air Date: February 9, 2025)
