THE JERUSALEM PODCAST
In The Jerusalem Podcast, we speak with scholars, archeologists, religious leaders, and others to uncover the layers of memory, mystery and myth of Jerusalem. We explore: What is it that has drawn monarchs, madmen, and endless masses of people to Jerusalem for thousands of years? What makes this city holy to over half the world? This podcast is produced by The Philos Project in partnership with Polymath Innovations. The Philos Project is a global leadership community that promotes positive engagement in the Near East based on the ideas and values of the Hebraic tradition.

"TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY"
Season 3 As the international situation deteriorates, FDR faces multiple challenges: readying the country for war across two oceans, facing down the threats from Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, and attempting to rally political support at home. Americans are not convinced of the foreign threat. Many are still isolationists, seeking to let the world solve its own problems while America stands aloof. Public opinion seems to be changing, but it's a gradual process. Will FDR be able to master these multiple crises? Will the American people rally behind him? Will the nation prepare in time to face one of the gravest threats in its history—or will all of FDR's efforts be too late? Join The National WWII Museum for Season 3 of this limited series podcast as we explore America's road to Pearl Harbor as seen through the eyes of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
