The World According To Yoni, hosted by actor-writer-director & Progressive activist Yoni Marten, tackles politics, the entertainment industry (especially indie film & theater), sex and society, mental health & anything else that piques Yoni's interest, with humor, passion & Yoni's particular POV. Most of the time, Yoni will be joined by his celebrity friends, and/or renowned experts in their fields. Together, the discussions will be lively, interesting and fun!
Welcome to the new season of The World According To Yoni! After an extended hiatus from the airwaves, Yoni returns just in time to share his thoughts on President Biden pulling out of the presidential race, as well as the "assassination" attempt on Donald Trump and lots more. We think you'll find his time off has not blunted Yoni's passion or thinking.

Yoni Flies Solo
Yoni flies solo (meaning no guest) for this very personal show. The past month has been one that’s frightening and scary throughout the world. Between the events in Israel and Gaza, to the insanity going on in the United States and around the world, Yoni has a lot to get off his chest, which he does with brutal honesty. This is an almost completely political episode you won't want to miss.

The World According To Yoni with Returning Guest, Dwayne Epstein
After a somewhat lengthy absence (don’t ask why — you really don’t want to know), The World According to Yoni is back with friend of the show, Dwayne Epstein, author of the new Amazon Best-Seller, Killing Generals: The Making of The Dirty Dozen, a wonderful follow-up to his last book (and NY Times Best Seller), Lee Marvin: Point Blank. And during his absence from the airwaves, Yoni has not mellowed, as you'll note from his politically charged mini-rant at the end of the show.

The World According To Yoni with Guest, Author Dwayne Epstein
After an absence of several months (watch or listen to the show to find out why), Yoni is finally back with a new show and a great guest, Dwayne Epstein, author of the NY Times Best-Seller, Lee Marvin: Point Blank, a wonderful biography of the late actor. And, naturally, Yoni has a few things to say regarding the current state of American politics. This episode runs a tad longer than most, so you’ll need to leave yourself a little time more time to listen than usual.
