    Episode #3 Dror Doron on Iran, offensive odours & a musical teaser

    Episode #3 Dror Doron on Iran, offensive odours & a musical teaser

    With tensions increasing between Israel, Iran and Lebanon, in this week's episode of ATA, Dash and Tami interview Dror Doron. Dror is a senior advisor at the United Against Nuclear Iran organization, he previously served for 17 years in Israel's government where he regularly briefed senior decision-makers on developments in the Middle East, particularly on Hezbollah. They also reveal some incriminating information about Tami’s ancestral pickle empire and share some admissions made by (anonymous) members of the community who confused their podcast for a ‘juicy confessions’ series.

    Episode #2 Penny Wong, Angry letters and palette pleasing pickles

    Episode #2 Penny Wong, Angry letters and palette pleasing pickles

    In this week's episode of ATA, Tami reveals the tangy tagline of her great-great-grandparents' pickle factory, Palata Pickles. Is "Penny Wong good or bad for Israel"? We examine the Foreign Affairs Minister's approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict. And, in the spirit of preparing ourselves for (nasty) audience feedback, we reprise one of Tami's all-time favourite pieces of hate mail.
