Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and Wunderkind critic Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

--Gradually, and then Suddenly --

Who killed Israel's Labor Party?

--Art or Death --

Should the government support the arts like it supports the hospitals and the army, because art is an existential need no less important than health and defense?

--Pandemic & Patriarchy --

Is the pandemic the best thing ever for patriarchy? Has the time come for "feminist civil disobedience"?

--What's It Like Celebrating Memorial Day and Independence Day Under Corona-Lockdown --

For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we talk about what it was like to celebrate memorial day and independence day, under corona-lockdown. Hint: kind of delightful, and weirder than weird!

All this and Adi Shaham!
