In today’s episode of Inside Israel we meet the gal behind the mic of the world’s most popular English-language Israel news podcast: Amanda Borschel-Dan, host of the Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing. 

We’ll learn how she fell in love  with Israel in the first place and why one of the world’s foremost Torah scholars is partly responsible for Amanda ultimately moving here. 

I also speak with Amanda about her journey from semi-anonymous journalist to becoming the most trusted voice in Israel-related news, including a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what it takes to produce just one Daily Briefing episode. 

And, in the "Hebrew is Magic" segment, Amanda talks to us about one of the most beautiful-sounding words in the Hebrew language and reveals how its actual meaning is actually a bit, well, filthy.
