Talking Unfiltered
Talking Unfiltered is your guide to real life in Israel — the unfiltered version.
Through the dual lens of a native Israeli and an American Olah (immigrant), we unpack what it's actually like to live in Israel. Whether you already made the move, are on a program or simply curious about daily life in Israel, we break down everything from cultural differences, the biggest mistakes people make, dating dynamics, and the everyday stories that make this place unlike anywhere else. With honest, relatable conversations and insight from guests of every background, this is the inside look at Israel you’ve been waiting for.

Okay, this week we’re going all in on the icks—every little thing guys do that makes us cringe, laugh, or just go absolutely N O P E. And because we can’t help ourselves, it totally spiraled into breakup stories, heartbreak lessons, and all the messy feelings in between. But here’s the thing: when you’re really in love, the icks don’t even matter that much—they just make for fun stories later 🥲

BUCKLE UP, because our friend Kayla is holding nothing back. From ghostings that make your jaw *drop* to situationships that belong in a horror movie, she’s spilling her wildest, most unbelievable dating stories with Israeli men. It’s messy, it’s hilarious, it’s horrifying—and it’s Kayla, unfiltered.

This week we’re switching things up... it's just Shay. In this special solo episode, she sits down to answer your questions: the deep, the weird and the random. From career confessions to moving to Tel Aviv after the army, it’s giving therapy, too much English and a super long voice note that could've been a podcast episode 😉. Enjoy ✨❤️

This week we have yet another solo episode... this time, Zoe rewinds back to late September and chats through all the chaos and clarity that came with a new year, a birthday, and inching toward two years since October 7. She talks about grieving old versions of herself, shifting friendships, living between her dual identities, and what a full year in Israel has actually taught her. You don't wanna miss this episode - it's a special one ❤️

It's Marielle's turn at a solo episode and wow, this one hits different. Marielle opens up about this extremely transformative chapter of her life — navigating Israel as a patrilineal Jew, deepening her relationship with Judaism and God, and learning to approach it all with curiosity and an open mind. She also reflects on the realities of being an Olah in Israel: the loneliness, the resilience, and the magic of building your own village from scratch. It’s an honest look at identity, faith, and stepping outside your comfort zone to find the people who truly align with you. Enjoy <3

In this heartfelt episode, we're reflecting on the past year of Talking Unfiltered—how the podcast started, how it's evolved, how we evolved with it, the moments that shaped it, and the stories we probably shouldn’t have told… but did anyway oopsie! We’re taking a minute to focus on our digital community (shameless insta plug @talking.unfiltered 😗) and focus on what’s next as we head into a new year and the next chapter of Talking Unfiltered. Stay curious!!! ❤️
