For a podcast all about asking questions the host didn’t bother to ask her self or anyone any questions about what she should have done before launching this podcast.
For example the cover art is truly horrendous.

I’ve been loving this podcast since it first came out. The combination of Nayeema’s wit and interview style make the show an enjoyable listen. Nice variety of topics too!
Nayeema is such an easy listen. Sounds like a friend and digs into topics I find interesting!! This has been a great find.
Nayeema is obviously a deeply thinking and feeling woman who has straddled multiple worlds and cultures. I love hearing her voice and perspective! Keep asking the dumb questions Nayeema!
