Its a shorter episode than usual, recorded on a break between classes. But hey, teachas gonna teach. Alan and Mike waste no time getting politically philosophical about Israel's democracy. In what ways is it similar or different from other Western nation states? Why is is so essential to Israel's identity? Why should democracy be essential for every nation? P.S. Why isn't anybody making a musical about Jefferson? Listen to more episodes, and let us know what you think! We are happy to take topic requests.
