The ‘Better Times’ Edition – The Promised Podcast‏

 

With some of the cast in shelters, and most living the high-life in the capitals of Western debauchery, we present a collection of “vatacountry” segments, in which each of us describe something that surprised and amazed us, delighted and amused us, in our day-to-day lives in Israel.  As if to say, “Times were better once, and they’ll be better again soon.”
