Yochai is the Story Editor of All About Change, hosted by Jay Ruderman. He is a veteran podcaster and avid audiophile. He holds strongly to the belief that “the phonograph will unquestionably outrank the photograph” (Edison). He is co-founder of the Israel Story. Yochai is a native of Haifa who now calls New York home. Before he got into podcasting, he served for nine years as a combat officer in the IDF and nine years as a reserve search-and-rescue platoon leader.

When he is not editing tape, he enjoys backcountry camping with his three kids and playing the flute or a bass guitar.
