  • Comprehensive and in depth

    This podcast is so amazing because of the in depth analysis of how our history contributed to what we are today. It fights simplistic and misguided western narratives of Islam. I also really loved the section about Islam and LGBTQ+ and sexuality because there is not many podcasts that cover this. Scratch that, there’s not much information that covers it like this.

  • Fascinating insight into history

    I came to this via Professor Olomi’s hugely enjoyable Twitter threads. A wonderful blend of scholarly knowledge and insight, and clear, engaging presentation. What a joy to listen to.

  • Binge and Take Notes!

    This is such a treasure! I found Olomi’s podcast because I was searching for extra resources to learn about Islam and empires for a research paper and I ended up listening three entire seasons. And took lots of notes! (Sorry to my Islam professor… he just doesn’t compare to the amount of knowledge that is shared on this podcast.) more

  • Love the show

    Finally a history show that doesn’t rely on a cheap gimmick such as pseudo history or the occult. And finally one that isn’t so western centric

  • Mesmerizing

    Ali’s voice will transport your mind while providing a wealth of knowledge and every so often he inserts a comment, joke, that will make you laugh out loud. He would be the perfect dinner guest - I can imagine him holding court while we navigate from appetizers, a wonderful meal, dessert and the wine bottles are toppled by the dozen. Bravo!
