The Times of Israel Daily Briefing - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The interview today with Haviv Rettig Gur was the best and most level-headed explanation and look at the US protests and Israel's current outlook that I have heard from any news source. This needs to be heard widely. Thank you from an American!

In the aftermath horrific attacks of October 7, I was seeking a news source to provide timely, reliable and on-the-ground reporting in a digestible and non-sensational medium. The Times of Israel Daily Briefing has kept me informed while staying sane for the past eight months and I have scarcely missed an episode in that time. Thank you Amanda and Jessica for hosting and to the plethora of contributors covering this chaotic period of the State of Israel, the Jewish people and the world.

Exceptionally valuable perspective about the critical events and trends in Israel. A refreshing antidote to US-based coverage reflective of other agendas which obfuscate the actual issues that Israel is navigating.

After October 7, 2023 I searched for an Israeli news station or podcast where I could listen to smart, unbiased reporting on what was actually going on in Israel and Gaza. The American news seemed confusing and frankly anti-Israel. After browsing many different podcasts, I found the Daily Briefing from TOI. I love Amanda and Jessica and their guests - they are so truthful and close to home with honest reporting straight from the heart, but most importantly I trust their FACTS! I have not missed an episode since day 20 of the war when I started listening, thank you! A proud Irish American Catholic Zionist 💙

As a long-time listener I was very disappointed to hear Bret Stevens expound on DEI. Regardless of my own views I thought that this was a very skewed anti-DEI guest who made several inaccurate and biased comments. If you had a guest along with Bret to present countervailing points of view then this would have been fine. Furthermore I did not see a real point to this aspect of the interview. I know TOI can and usually does better.
