United States5 years ago - A wonderful podcast about literature
I love Bulaq and always learn so much. Both the hosts are great and bring their own perspectives to the literature they discuss - which they are always honest about. It’s an invaluable show if you’re interested in literature and more specifically Arabic literary culture.
Apple Podcasts5Sophia ElinaUnited Kingdom5 years ago - Love It!
Indispensable for anyone interested in the modern Arab world or in world literature. The hosts are up to the task of contextualising the works and authors. I’m always so happy to find a new episode. Small note on the May 7, 2020 episode: the person referred to as having written the script for the film Uridu Hallan , Hosn Shah, is a woman. Not Hasan.
Apple Podcasts5Noha ForsterUnited States5 years ago - What a gem
I'm always pleased with myself when I come across little unknown gems like this podcast. What a delight to listen to two smart women talk about books on a subject for which I've always had an interest yet know so little. Thank you, Bulaq, for bringing something new to the english-speaking book podcast world!
