Episode 63: Nour and The Environment

Squeek and I had this really chill conversation with the really chill Nour Fetyani. We talk about recycling, the effects of smoking (bans), being an athlete, animals, and plausible lies.

Nour is on Twitter, as is Squeek, as am I. Check out Recycle Your Jeddah on Facebook and get involved, or at least get tips.

Episode 62: Project Asir

This is what a casual conversation between me and my friends sound like, because we are such intellectuals we do nothing but social commentaries and tackle smart topics and stuffs.

The podcast is no stranger to ambush-interviewing Michael Bounacklie (check out previous episodes with him here and here), only this time, we do it over the intertubules. TECHNOLOGY, WUS HAPPENIN!

I'll let his blog do the talking; here's more on the Asir project. Follow Mike on Twitter (and Squeek and myself!).

Get some headphones on, and enjoy this episode.

Episode 61: Rayan Caught Unawares

Rayan Kattoua was our sound engineer for a couple of our past episodes (the ones that actually sound good). In this episode, he is the subject of an ambush interview (as we have done twice with Michael).

Featured here, in addition to Rayan Kattoua, is our own Squeek and Khayra. We talk about Rayan's music and his creative process, Squeek's trip to Turkey, Halloween costumes, and how Mexican Squeek really is.

Check out Rayan's music on SoundCloud.

Episode 58: 6b T3rf De?

Omair and 4aisal talk to me and Hassan about stuff they would like to share that Saudis should know.

This episode was recorded about 3 weeks ago when they first thought of the blog that they are currently working on called "6b T3rf De?" (translated "Ok, but did you know..?"). On the blog, they will talk mostly about things related to science, technology, and history in a Saudi context. You want to check this out - they're planning to officially launch the blog by December.

The episode gives us a glimpse of the topics they will touch on. We talked about, among other things:
* career choices
* the Saudi OS RAY (check this out!)
* credit scores
* the differences between Professors and Doctors
* Reddit vs 9gag
