Can You Help Me Find My Mom?

Israeli buses regularly make international headlines, be it for suicide bombings, fights over gender segregation, or clashes concerning Shabbat schedules. One particular ill-fated megastructure, however, has been at the nexus of various lesser-publicized conflicts: a building in Tel Aviv designed to be the largest bus station in the world.

This episode was originally produced for Israel Story, the English-language version of the popular Israeli radio program Sipur Israeli, which is distributed by PRX and produced in partnership with Tablet.

The Truth

A Drop in the Ocean

Parce que certains sextoys ont des voix intégrées, ils nous racontent, en creux, ce que nous aimerions entendre. Attention, ce podcast contient des voix d'hommes gutturales chaudes comme la braise. Et pas mal de vibrations.

Sex and sounds (n°2) : La voix des sextoys

In this podcast, three different people share their coming out stories, and what happened when they made the decision to share something deeply personal about themselves online.

Podcast: Strange, Scary, Liberating

A circle forms around two lads
Circle of boys 
Circle of boys
There's gonna be a fight in the playground
Sleeves rolled up
Socks pulled down
Blood flows from one kids nose
But the older boys want more
They want strips torn from uniforms
It's a test of strength
Two boys rolling around in the dust
In the dust...
Embrace

And when a boy grows up he's still the same
He's still the same
But he's a man
And a man is physical
And a man has to put his physical
Body to the test
Body to the test
Against another man
Do you measure up?
Or do ya still have work to do?
Still have work to do...
Embrace

It's hard to trust somebody
It's hard to believe in love
How do you measure love?
But you can trust your body
Push / rip / taste / touch / work your body
And if you work that body
Don't need to trust nobody
Pull the trigger
Run the race
Beat the man
Chase the clock
Aware to God
That's His that was
Throw the spear
Take the glory
Embrace

A man can meet another man
In a bar
On the sportsfield
At his place of work
Or in his own apartment
Or on the internet right now

So Turn / Face / Connect
Embrace

You gotta prove yourself
Understand yourself
Show your strength
Embrace

Now Flex
Look your best
Eye to eye
Embrace

Turn / Face
Man & Woman
Embrace

Embrace, come on 
Embrace, come on
Embrace

The body is real

You gotta love one another
