We talk about his latest book, Who By Fire, which is about Leonard Cohen's time near the front lines of combat between Israeli and Egyptian forces in the Yom Kippur War. We also talk about his 2014 articles about media bias against Israel, how Israel was patient zero for wokeness in the media, the paradox of hiring journalists who have no working experience covering their beats, the effect of wealth on a societal level, the burden of being a Jew in the world, the allure of journalism for young people, my decision to quit journalism, and the future of journalism.

Matti has published three other books:

The Aleppo Codex: In Pursuit of One of the World's Most Coveted, Sacred, and Mysterious Books

Pumpkinflowers: An Israeli Soldier's Story

Spies of No Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel
