In the brand-new State of a Nation podcast, Eylon brings his idiosyncratic blend of “eloquence and ability to transmit outrage” (The Times) and “rhetorical tour de force” (The Guardian) to his exclusive channel, to explore the most pressing questions facing the Jewish state – and all with patience and panache.


    State of a Nation takes you into the spokesperson’s briefing notes, delving into the real stories and their surprising details. The series invites listeners into insider conversations with thinkers, policymakers, and media personalities — conversations that take you between the lines and beyond the headlines.
