About this episode

Joel shares his experiences during a layover in Amman, reflecting on the future of the Middle East and its connection to Israeli narratives.

Joel broadcasts from Amman, Jordan — part of a crazy layover to the USA for his upcoming spring 2026 comedy tour. He shares details of his journey, how it makes him think about the future of the Middle East, and why it's a uniquely Israeli story (and not necessarily in a good way). --------------- Support Inside Israel: Contribute Book Joel during his spring/fall 2026 lecture and comedy tour: www.joelchasnoff.com To learn more about Inside Israel, and to submit a question for Joel to answer on-air, visit www.joelchasnoff.com/podcast   Sign up for Joel’s newsletter, Hebrew Is Magic: www.joelchasnoff.com Joel’s tour schedule: www.joelchasnoff.com/shows Joel on Instagram: @joelchasnoff   Israel 201 , co-authored by Joel and Benji Lovitt and Winner of the 2023 National Jewish Book Award: www.joelchasnoff.com/books Hosted on Acast.
