I am the host of a podcast series focusing on the challenges of the West, in the 21st century, from a conservative, classically liberal, and libertarian perspective. We will touch on all current issues while giving emphasis to our lives here in the State of Israel and, more broadly, in the West. Amongst the interviews you will hear from world famous philosophers, intellectuals, government officials, and even ordinary citizens with fascinating stories, from here in Israel and from around the world. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415.md ## Episodes - ["The Mossad Takes Orders From the CIA" | Michael Doran Responds to Tucker Carlson](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415/the-mossad-takes-orders-from-the-cia-michael-doran-responds-to-tucker-carlson) — 2026-05-25T12:38:41+00:00 - [Federal Judge Comes Out Swinging at New York Times Writer: "He's Blinded by Hate" | Roy Altman](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415/federal-judge-comes-out-swinging-at-new-york-times-writer-he-s-blinded-by-hate-roy-altman) — 2026-05-24T13:33:00+00:00 - [Is Israel the ONLY Democracy in the Middle East?
