0:00.0	Hi, it's Brendan here. Before we kick off with this week's podcast, I wanted to let you know some exciting news.
0:06.0	My new book is out now. It's called After the Pogrom, 7th of October, Israel and the Crisis of Civilization.
0:13.5	And it's available right now from Amazon.
0:16.6	I'm really proud of this book.
