Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib

News. Pop Culture. Politics. Weird stories. EVERYTHING that happened during the last week. Comedian Ben Gleib catches you up on it all, while making fun of basically everything. Some people tell him this podcast is the way they prefer to get the news. He thinks these people are geniuses. Sometimes he's joined by celebrity guests like comedians, actors, politicians, Four-Star Generals, and his parents. But mostly he talks to himself. If you've been in a coma for the last 7 days, this podcast should not be high on your list of things to tackle.

    #253: Israel/Palestine Face to Face with Palestinian comedian Sammy Obeid
    After a long hiatus, the podcast returns for an important episode. Gleib is an Israeli American, and his in-studio guest is Palestinian American comedian Sammy Obeid. Since the Israel/Hamas war broke out three months ago, we've all been stuck in separate social media echo chambers. So Gleib wanted to change that and have a face to face conversation with a comedian buddy on the opposite side of perhaps the most complex and controversial issue of our time. Plus he updates us on two very difficult life updates since the last time we met, and shares a great life hack. Follow @SammyObeid on Socials, and support the pod by subscribing to Gleib's patreon at Patreon.com/bengleib
