S2E8 Surfing the Radio Waves w/ Ahinoam Baer

In this episode of Sababoosh, we dive into the story of Galgalatz, Israel’s most popular radio station and a cultural powerhouse that has shaped the Israeli music scene for decades. Known for its eclectic mix of music, from local hits to global chart-toppers, Galgalatz serves as the soundtrack of daily life in Israel.

We’ll explore how it became the voice of the nation’s young generation, its unique connection to the IDF, and its role in breaking Israeli artists onto the global stage. We also explore the impact that Galgalatz has on the country and how it sets the mood in times of sadness. This was especially powerful as the episode was recorded on Thursday when we were all processing the horrible news about the Bibas family.

Whether you're a music lover or just curious about the pulse of Israeli pop culture, this episode will take you behind the scenes of one of Israel’s most iconic institutions with one of its radio show hosts, Ahinoam Baer.
