For 11 years, Don has been co-host of TLV1’s The Promised Pod­cast, where his hilar­i­ous sto­ry­telling about his fam­i­ly and his life in Israel in the What­ta­Coun­try seg­ment has gained him a wide fol­low­ing. The Promised Pod­cast is a week­ly review of pol­i­tics and soci­ety in Israel with more than three mil­lion down­loads. Don’s longer auto­bi­o­graph­i­cal com­ic and mov­ing mono­logues can be heard on his per­for­mance pod­cast, Fut­ter­man’s One-Man Show. Don has been a colum­nist for Haaretz and The Dai­ly Beast and has pub­lished two chil­dren’s books fea­tur­ing his three actu­al kids. He’s also the found­ing Direc­tor of the Israel Cen­ter for Edu­ca­tion­al Inno­va­tion and the Direc­tor of the Mori­ah Fund in Israel. He grew up in Flush­ing, New York, has lived in Boston, San Fran­cis­co, Seat­tle, and Prov­i­dence, and has lived in Israel since 1994.
