Listen: 2NJB podcast - Fact checker by day, comedian by night
Yoav Rabinovitz is our guest today. By day, he’s the chief-editor of the super influential TV show “The Other Side with Guy Zohar”, which deconstructs news items and political speeches, and confronts them with the facts. And by night, Yoav takes off his suit and becomes a stand-up comedian, the wittiest tweeter in the Middle East, and a guy that can dance as if he’s the love child of Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.
Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. |
