In my opinion, this is one of the best, if not currently the best podcasts on Tanakh that is out there .  It’s not clouded by bias, the host gives a plethora of information on each the subjects at hand and usually gives the current available knowledge on the subject and the current knowledge of the area the subject takes place in.
 Yoel will give the concise opinion of the religious and the non religious scholars and historians alike.  

It is really refreshing to hear the available proofs through a lenses of clarity.
    
   it is truly nice to hear lectures given based on what the scriptures say, the real facts .  Rather then hearing again someone towing the company line and regurgitating the status Quo out of man made religious loyalty or man made religious fear. 

Yoel Halevi is a wonderful step in the direction of restoring the truth , He is a blessing Form the creator of all things . 

Shalom and todah rabah .

My new favorite podcast
