Israel’s Spy Master Speaks: Yossi Cohen on Secret Ops, Iran, Hamas and the War for Global Opinion Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

The former head of the Israeli Mossad spy agency, Yossi Cohen, joins Mo News for a rare, candid interview about Israel’s security challenges and the region’s shifting landscape. Cohen led the agency from 2016 to 2021, overseeing the theft of Iran’s nuclear archive, covert operations that damaged Tehran’s missile and nuclear programs, and back-channel negotiations that paved the way for the Abraham Accords. He is the author of a new book, The Sword of Freedom, discussing his career and the state of the region. Now out of government and weighing political ambitions, he reflects on his tenure and the lessons of the past two years.

We discuss:

The state of Israel’s fight with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran after the 12-Day War — and how much damage was done to Iran’s military and psychological capacity.
The October 7 intelligence failure and why Israel missed warnings about Hamas.
The damage to Israel’s reputation, with rising anti-Israel sentiment, accusations of war crimes and surging antisemitism worldwide.
Behind-the-scenes negotiations with Arab leaders, Saudi Arabia’s potential as Israel’s most influential partner, and the future of a Palestinian state.
His view of Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump— and when he thinks the war in Gaza will end.
Why Mossad is blamed in so many conspiracy theories — like Jeffrey Epstein and the death of Charlie Kirk.

Interview - Spice Girls, Teen Comedies, & Girlbosses: How 2000s Pop Culture Shaped Millennial Women Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of the Mo News Podcast, producer Sari Soffer Sukenik sits down with Sophie Gilbert, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of her new book, Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves. Sophie reflects on the pop culture of the ’90s and 2000s — the rom-com boom, the teen sex comedies, the rise of the “cool girl,” and the commercialization of “girl power” — and how these cultural touchstones shaped millennial women’s self-image, relationships, and ambitions.

The conversation ranges from Spice Girls to American Pie, from rom-com nostalgia to the cultural legacy of #MeToo, and from Janet Jackson's Superbowl wardrobe malfunction to Instagram’s double-edged impact. Sophie argues for a more mindful relationship with the media we consume—and what it means to raise the next generation with awareness of how culture shapes us all.

Interview - Roastmaster Unplugged: Jeff Ross Opens Up About Loss, Life and Comedy Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

He’s roasted everyone from Donald Trump to Tom Brady — but now Jeff Ross is turning the spotlight on himself. The “Roastmaster General” is showing a surprising, tender side in his hit Broadway show ‘Take a Banana for a Ride,’ and in this conversation with Mosheh.
Ross shares the stories that inspired the show, including talking about losing his close friends like comedians Norm Macdonald, Bob Saget and Gilbert Gottfried. He opens up about his battle with colon cancer, the influence of his Jewish identity, and how these experiences have reshaped his comedy.
We also dive into the state of stand-up in today’s political climate, his dream roast subject, and how far roasting can go in 2025. Plus, Ross offers his tips for balancing humor and heart — whether you’re on Broadway or giving a wedding speech.
