Mark Levin to Host Original Podcast Series


On the Frontlines with Mark Levin and Yael Eckstein ~ Presented by The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

Four-Part Series Launches October 2 with an Investigation into the October 7, 2023, Terror Attacks on Israel

NEW YORK, Oct. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cumulus Media (NASDAQ: CMLS) today announced a new original podcast series, On the Frontlines with Mark Levin and Yael Eckstein, which will be exclusively presented by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship). The series marks the first time veteran broadcaster and constitutional law expert Mark Levin will host an original content series. Yael Eckstein, President & CEO of The Fellowship, will serve as co-host of the series and lend insight from her expertise as a resident of Israel.

On the Frontlines with Mark Levin and Yael Eckstein explores Jewish cultures and tradition, the significance of Judeo-Christian values, the historical hatred of Jews through the centuries, and the centuries-old cycle of violence that led to the devastating attacks on October 7th. The series will feature four episodes in 2024:

  • October 2: One Year Later
    Mark and Yael discuss life in Israel since Oct. 7, 2023, and why it is so important for Christians to stand with Israel.
  • October 23: No Jews, No News
    Like a virus, historical hatred of the Jews has mutated from an age-old hatred of the Jewish religion to the Jewish race, and now to the Jewish nation of Israel. Mark and Yael discuss why anti-semitism persists.
  • November 20: Incredible Israel!
    Mark and Yael discuss the biblical and historical Israel emphasizing key aspects of ancient Jewish culture and tradition that led to the formation of the modern state of Israel.
  • December 18: Freedom Frontlines: Where “The Truth” Lies
    What led to the present-day conflicts in Israel and the Middle East and why do they continue? Mark and Yael dispute the inevitable “Cycle of Violence” narrative.

"I am very excited about our new podcast partnership with The Fellowship,” said Levin. “It is a fantastic organization with a wonderful mission and a truly righteous group of people, from the President & CEO Yael to her dedicated team."

“At a time when the world seems to have once again turned on Israel and the Jewish people, I feel so blessed to partner with Mark Levin--a strong voice for Israel,” Eckstein said. “Together, as we discuss and find inspiration in how Israel is standing up for democratic societies around the world, we are continuing to build bridges of understanding to help combat the terrifying rise in global anti-Semitism.”
