Israeli Trailblazers Show
Strangers shape your daily life — and you never knew their names. Every episode, you meet an Israeli innovator, researcher, or thinker whose breakthrough you already rely on. Wildfires stopped before the trucks leave the station. Cancer caught in five minutes, from your couch. Seizures predicted hours early. All from a country the size of New Jersey — the one the world can't stop arguing about. Elon Musk calls Israel #1 in innovation per capita. So why don't we know these names? Host Jennifer Weissmann introduces you to the people behind the tech that's helping your daily life — and by the end of each episode, you'll learn something new and see the world a little differently.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hundreds of people were killed at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023. Thousands survived. The full account of those 24 hours has been difficult to tell completely and honestly. Award-winning Israeli filmmaker Duki Dror made SuperNova to document what happened through survivor testimony. Born in Tel Aviv to Iraqi Jewish refugees, he brings a specific perspective to stories about identity and historical memory. This conversation covers what making the film revealed, and what he believes remains incompletely understood.
