Background

Tamir Dortal was interested in Hebrew podcasts on the topics of conservatism, political philosophy, economics and civil liberties.[3] He discovered there were few to none Hebrew podcasts on these topics, and decided to start his own.

Chapters

The podcast addresses issues on Israel's public agenda, including:[4] Civil liberties, Jewish traditions in modern life, Jews and liberal conservatism, family, the welfare state, security, nationalism, Separation of religion and state, European migrant crisis, capitalism, governance, law and democracy, judicial activism, the Middle East and Islamic culture.[5][6][7]

Guests have included people such as Ben Shapiro, Victor Davis Hanson and Dennis Prager.

Production

On Meaning's team produces other successful podcasts such as: Hashimua[8] (Hebrew: השימוע – The Hearing), Al Hamilhama[9] (Hebrew: על המלחמה – About the War) and HaMatzbee Menatzeah[10] (Hebrew: המצביא מנצח – The warlord wins).
