Amanda Borschel-Dan: De-briefing the Daily Briefer
Where did Amanda get that crazy accent, and why does she love the Hebrew word for “bird poop”?
In today’s episode of Inside Israel, I sit down with Amanda Borschel-Dan, host of the Times of Israel’s The Daily Briefing podcast, and ask her the really big questions, like:
Why and when did she move to Israel?
How did she get into journalism?
More from Inside Israel with Joel Chasnoff
And just where did she get that crazy part-Israeli, part-Canadian, part-American-Midwest accent?
Amanda also shares her journey from being a semi-anonymous journalist to becoming the most trusted voice in Israel-related news. Plus, she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work and dedication it takes to produce just one episode of Daily Briefing.
And in the “Hebrew is Magic” segment, Amanda introduces us to one of the most melodious words in the Hebrew language—only to reveal that its true meaning is a bit… well, dirty!
