Description

Brian interviews author and former journalist Leah Eichler. Leah launched her writing career as a journalist working for the Jerusalem Report. Her first break came when she found a Palestinian spy willing to go public with his story of collaboration with the Israelis. Her success in the Middle East led to a fifteen-year career at major news agencies in which she interviewed the famous and infamous alike, including Salman Rushdie, Henry Morgentaler and the Nazi-hunter, Simon Wiesenthal. Leah spent seven years as a weekly, national business columnist for the Globe and Mail. Her fiction is published in the Jewish Literary Review.
