It's about starting conversations that lead to self-awareness and growth, not rejection or dismissal.I believe it's important to challenge the tendency...2024-12-1519 min
The Liat ShowRacism in Ofra Haza's music journey through the lens of the NotebookLM podcastCurrent Time.The Cultural Racism in Ofra Haza's StoryIt’s hard, and sometimes even impossible, to explain cultural racism from one culture to another. In the series of stories I wrote about Ofra Haza with Kevin Alexander, he asked a naive question about rejecting Mizrahi music and never expected the answer to involve racism. That innocent question helped me find the words to describe what Jews from North African and Arab countries went through in Israel’s early days. The Israeli mainstream didn’t just ignore Mizrahi music; it was actively pushed aside...2024-12-1409 min

The Liat ShowNotebookLM Glitches: When Podcasts Take Creative Liberties with My StoriesCurrent 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 2000s might have led to this mix-up, but still, it’s unacceptable. So, if anyone from NotebookLM is listening, maybe it’s time for a patch update to the mod...2024-11-2210 min
