Hi, thanks for stopping by East to West Radio.
I was just eight years old watching my mom at the Israeli Broadcasting Authority recording her programs, and I’m totally mesmerized. For me, that studio wasn’t just a studio; it was a doorway for the rest of the world. That’s where the fever started, and honestly, it never left me. It got fueled with my introduction to WBLS and to late-night DJs like Vaughan Harper and Champagne in New York City in the early 80s.
East to West isn’t a business. It’s a passion project. It’s a late-night hobby that I do for the pure pleasure of sharing a vibration with you. There’s no hidden agenda here, no monetary drive, just desire to give back what music has given to me.

Think about this website not as a library, but a table in a quiet nightclub. So pull up a chair and let me tell you some stories about some artists, and let me introduce you to some new music I’ve just discovered. This isn’t just a radio program or a playlist—it’s a late-night confession, a story told between friends.
I’m Eitan Battat. Welcome to my world.

The Price of a Sunset E260 05/27/2026
That's the part that stays with me. A sunset, which is free, is as beautiful from the deck of a yacht or from a bench at the beach. I also bet you that love would feel the same, and conversation will still fill their hearts in the same way.

ROE (Return on Experience) (E251) 03/18/2026
The Value of a Moment I recently spent $500 on a concert ticket to see Rod Stewart. Now, a business person would look at that on paper and say, "That’s expensive". But when Rod started singing a song that evoked a deep, visceral emotion—one that transported me back to a first love, a first kiss, or a first concert—time simply stopped.
