Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a new video podcast last week. The show follows a familiar format, with Netanyahu and a guest spending an hour discussing one of the major issues facing Israel. The guests he chooses are prominent figures from the particular focus of that show.

For example, in the first episode Netanyahu discussed the economy, a subject near and dear to him, with Avi Simchon, former chairman of the National Economic Council. Simchon is close to Netanyahu and considered one of his biggest admirers.
