  • Entertaining, Informative, Worth A Listen

    Perhaps one of the most entertaining and engaging podcasts I’ve listened to-AND an educational one as well since it tackles all aspects of MENA culture in film and television. Give it a listen!

  • Informative & Entertaining

    I love the casual and friendly dynamic between the hosts, which is paired perfectly with genuinely scintillating discussions that never fail to teach me something or give me a new perspective on a topic I was already familiar with. The latest episode on Dune was particularly enlightening, and I respect their commitment to elevating MENA voices in art and the industry. Can’t wait for more episodes! 💜

  • An excellent listen

    The Middle Geeks is both educational and entertaining! Representation in media is something I consider very important, and it's great to listen to a podcast like this where the hosts feel the same. Not a single episode goes by where I don’t have fun listening, but also consider media in a way hadn’t thought about before. Highly recommended!
