I turn to Makdisi Street for in depth analysis of topics I care deeply about. I appreciate the way the brothers treat their topics and guests with the respect and sensitivity they deserve. I recommend this show to all my family and friends who are trying to get insight into the nuance of issues facing West Asia and the Muslim world.
The dynamic of the show encourages insightful debate between the brothers and guests. Their different perspectives drawn from their individual areas of expertise makes the podcast engaging, informative and entertaining. This is a must for anyone seeking to understand the current situation in the Middle East beyond the abundant “two dimensional” analysis usually offered by less inquisitive pundits than the Makdissi Brothers
I love this endlessly informative, wide-ranging podcast that is on a human level, the dynamic between the brothers is lovely and I like the way they let people talk and don’t try to shape what they are saying, at the same time they challenge their guests and each other. Thank you, merci, shukran
Voices of knowledge, memory and honesty. Essential listening. Thank you Makdisi brothers for resisting to barbarism and contributing to the protection of civilized possibilities.
Three brothers that are also academics discuss from their respective disciplines the situation in the Middle East, always with top notch guests. Informative and analytically sharp, you always end up learning something new.
