If you’re interested in a (different) perspective on the (Arab) world, this is a worthwhile podcast. The two hosts and their guests focus on the big picture.
Thanks for the deep and timely content :)
Essential listening for anyone interested in/worried about Middle Eastern governance.
A great podcast for those interested in politics and the struggle against the world’s autocrats and human rights violators. A voice for a free-for-all world.
Breaks issues logically and hosts present great political analysis. Would be good if hosts add a joke or comedic reference every now and then so that its not all serious. Excellent nevertheless.
