  • Top notch

    Even among the independent media sphere, Rania stands out as one of the very best with her journalist integrity and interview skills. The show pulls no punches, dives deep without loosing sight of the big picture, never equivocates on moral principles, all without being grumpy or cynical. Kudos to all BreakThough crews!
