Israel National Radio
Fleisher is the former Director of Programming of the internet radio station Israel National Radio broadcasting out of Beit El (Bethel). He led Israel National Radio (INR) for seven years, expanding the lineup from two to thirty shows (including his own "Yishai and Friends" show). Fleisher built monthly downloads at INR to 120,000 per month and established it as one of the largest independent providers of radio content on Israel and the Middle East. During the Israeli "disengagement" from the Jewish communities in Gush Katif, Yishai moved to Gush Katif and reported daily on the activities taking place there as families prepared to abandon their homes or fought against the orders to move. The "Yishai and Friends Show" mixes hard news reporting with analysis combined with inspirational comments drawn from traditional Jewish sources. Among the scores of well known people interviewed on "Yishai and Friends" were American media personality Joe the Plumber, Dutch politician and film maker Geert Wilders, actor Jon Voight, and jurist Prof. Alan Dershowitz.
