Annual and founding members enter the story before the rest of the world understands it. Current Time. When I started writing about Ofra Haza, it was clear to me that her genius lay not only in her voice but in the way she used it as a bridge between people’s worlds. The...

Current Time. My team reads every comment online, especially on social media, because their mentors believe that positive engagement with followers helps foster loyalty and strengthen our community. However, neither of them expected to stumble across this comment while scrolling through social media because it describes The Liat Show better than we could have ever anticipated: “Liat Portal’s story...

Current Time. Sometimes, the internet surprises me in ways that warm my heart and give me strength that no one who knows me in person does. It’s not something I’m comfortable admitting, but no one in my immediate circle reads what I write, responds, or shares it. Everyone who reads, listens, or writes me a comment doesn’t know me personally at all, and these connections were all made here on socia...

Current Time. Mark and Samantha talk about The Liat Show again. This time, they chose the “Learning to Fly with a Little Help from My Friends on Substack” episode and dove into my evolution from Medium and Patreon to Substack. They touch on how I’ve highlighted Substack’s standout features while also acknowledging the hurdles I’ve faced with its technical aspects and support system. They explore t...

Current Time. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I hope you enjoy your day with people you love, value, and appreciate - those who are important to you in your life. Having a delicious meal, engaging in valuable conversations, and enjoying good music in the background are things to be truly grateful for. If you are in a different situation and life circumstances have led you to spend this holiday alon...

Current Time. Listening to Mark and Samantha disassemble and reassemble my work on their podcast was like stepping into a mirror and seeing my stories reflected in their voices. They described The Liat Show as a mix of storytelling, cultural heritage, and forward-thinking ideas, a blend of everything in my world and one that even I sometimes find hard to define. Hearing their insights into my writ...

Current Time. What will education look like in a world where knowledge is a currency and schools have gone underground to preserve independent thought? Is this idea too thought-provoking, too futuristic, and imaginative, or could it become a reality within just two years, especially since you all know what Project 2025 is? Without diving into current politics, Mark and Samantha delve into my blog...

Current Time. Hearing podcasts discuss my stories is always fascinating, but sometimes things can get a little... creative or get out of proportion. In this episode, for example, the hosts claim my father is a filmmaker, which isn’t exactly true. He’s an architect - of actual buildings (the old-school kind, not a software architect). I guess his obsession with his video camera during the ’90s and...

Current Time. When I first listened to this podcast, I had to pause and wonder - how did they manage to peel back so many layers I hadn’t even realized were there? Hearing them connect my stories to themes I’d never thought of felt like watching someone else assemble the puzzle pieces of my life’s work in a completely different way - and yet, it also works beautifully. This episode isn’t just abou...

Annual and founding members enter the story before the rest of the world understands it. Current Time. I’m still getting used to the experience of radio and podcast hosts talking about my show. I’m grateful and do not take it for granted. In this episode, Mark and Samanth...

Current Time. Mark and Samantha's professionalism far surpasses that of all other radio hosts. It begins with their breadth of general knowledge, the thorough research they consistently conduct about me, their deep understanding of their audience, their mastery of the English language, and, most notably, their improvisational skills and ability to captivate an audience. They leave listeners eager...

Current Time. Listening to podcast hosts dive into my stories feels like watching someone uncover hidden treasures in a familiar place. This episode surprised me because they explored ideas I didn't even realize were woven into my work—like how storytelling creates ripples that connect people and fuel creativity. They reminded me why I write. I hope that sharing my stories and cultural identity wi...

Current Time. I never thought I’d hear podcasters break down my work the way they did in this episode. It’s one thing to share your stories, but to hear others not just get it but really dive into the details - like my cultural roots, the mystery of storytelling, or even the numbers that open the Portal - made me sit back and think, “Wow, this is actually happening.” Hearing someone piece together...

Current Time. It’s surreal to hear more and more podcast hosts discussing my stories. When I started writing, I never imagined it would resonate deeply with so many people, let alone spark such intelligent conversations. They’ve captured the essence of storytelling, curiosity, and community in a way I couldn’t have expressed better myself. I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with all of yo...

Current Time. The best way to start the week is with a little escapism. Whether the election results have you considering relocating to Mars or celebrating a dream come true, now’s the time to get back to what makes you feel good. Listening to Mark and Samantha talk about my show could be just the thing. Storytelling is more than words; it’s a celebration of connection, exploration, and the shared...

Current Time. It’s not easy for me to share embarrassing moments in my life, especially when they involve kitchen mistakes. I am proud of what I create in the kitchen and consider cooking art not less than writing. So, my disappointment level skyrockets when I’m not happy with the final result. Listening to Mark and Samantha empathize with my story and share their embarrassing moments was both com...

Current Time. Apparently, my conversations with my dad are a wellspring of knowledge, personal experiences, and memories. Who would have thought it would be so much easier to learn this way? The ability to share our memories, combined with the education we’ve gained over the years and the knowledge we’ve accumulated in life, is profound. Thank you, Samantha and Mark, for talking about my stories a...

Current Time. Listen, this is really not something to be taken for granted. When radio personalities like Mark and Samantha talk about my personal experiences, and it turns into a conversation that reflects their own personal stories, it means I’m doing something right.  Even though they read the blog post a bit late (I forgive them for only now reading one I wrote in September), it’s more relevan...

Current Time. "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." This quote is often attributed to John Lennon, but it reflects my life in many ways. This week, I was forced to pause. I couldn’t resist or do anything—I just crashed and spent almost the entire week in bed. I was sicker than I had been in a long time. I felt like I needed to sleep constantly, and my eyes closed against my w...

Current Time. For many, cybersecurity feels like something out of a science fiction movie or just a headline about attacks on big organizations. Most people, however, don’t fully understand what it means in their daily lives. From physical devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets to software products, social media, and digital platforms, every aspect of our digital world involves some elem...

Current Time. Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach was an extraordinary storyteller, musician, composer, and educator. One of his greatest missions was to build bridges between communities and bring them together. He was a pioneer who still continues to inspire people, even decades after his death. Rabbi Carlebach is often credited with saying, "Every child needs one adult who believes in him." This quote has r...

Current Time. When podcast hosts discuss several of the blog stories I’ve written in one conversation, it creates a dish that’s an absolute delicacy. I’m deeply grateful that they continue to read my blog stories and share their experiences and insights with their audience. I hope hosts on iHeartRadio and the Morning Show will also join the conversation about my blog posts in The Liat Show : My Jo...

Current Time. Friday’s Ritual – Schnitzel Mark and Samantha dive deep into how Schnitzels became an integral part of Israeli food culture. At times, it feels like they’re talking in circles, but I suppose that’s the result of relying on technology to deliver content. As you may have noticed, when listening to the podcast, they still don’t pronounce my name correctly. So here’s a guide I wrote to h...

Current Time. I’m speechless. Mark and Samantha dive deep into my show and explain my creative journey to the audience. Writing is a journey down memory lane. I start with a blank document, filling it with words that connect to me and my world. When I write, the stories come naturally, without effort. So, listening to Mark and Samantha's interpretation of my work is eye-opening - it shows how peop...

Current Time. I had serious doubts about whether Mark and Samantha would understand what I do at my day job, but they surprised me. Cybersecurity is a scary enough word, so talking about zero-trust architecture (ZTA) is not something most podcasters would discuss, especially if it’s outside their expertise. It might sound like a topic far from your world, but ZTA is already deeply plugged into our...
