Israel Hour Radio - Israeli Music Podcast

What's better than listening to Israeli music on the radio? Listening to Israeli music ABOUT radio on the radio, of course! This week, it's our Chagigat Shirei Radio, featuring Josh's two favorite things: Israeli music and radio. Enjoy an hour of great songs all about radio, plus some priceless soundbites from the archives of Kol Yisrael - chronicling the history of the land of Israel as it unfolded on the air. You'll also hear Josh's very first moment on WRSU, back in 1994.

Welcome to August Chagigot 2018! Each week in August, we devote the show to a particular topic in Israeli music, and play a collection of songs related to the topic.
