I have listened to this countless times. I won’t be exaggerating to say this is my favorite radio hour of all time. Kyra Ann’s voice, accompanied by what seems to be voices from all the languages and all the cultures in all the times and all the corners of the world, all unite into one voice, and this voice comes from a place where cynicism never existed, and where love, compassion, simplicity, compassion and tenderness truly exist. The tiny faults (Natan Alterman is no singer) only add to the perfect imperfectness or faulty perfection of this hour. A soft whisper of truth that travelled eons to call us away from the indifference of our times. This voice changed me. Thank you.
