Biden is possibly one of the few modern-time US presidents coming to office with a wealth of experience, and deep-rooted knowledge about the political establishment. Some even say he is the establishment! In this podcast we highlight important parts of his personal life and political career.

Some in the Arab World call him Abou Ali Putin! A made-up story even claims that his father Jasem Abou-teen emigrated to the USSR from Iraq where he use to sell figs (teen in Arabic), married a Russian lady, and had a boy named Abdulamir Abou-teen, who later changed his name to Vladimir Putin -😉

While this is of course a bunch of B.S, it behooves us to know more about this influential man. In this episode, you will hear about Putin’s early life, career, and ascent to the highest office in Russia.

The plight of the people of Palestine cannot be summarized in a statement or covered by one or two podcasts. Recently, Human Rights Watch issued a report titled “A Threshold Crossed” detailing their position and accusing the Israeli authorities of the crimes of apartheid and persecution. Today’s conversation is with an Arab-American who decided to move back to Palestine and be involved in advocacy and activism by working with humanitarian organizations and international human rights groups. We will cover day-to-day life of ordinary Palestinians and talk about efforts by various local and international organizations to help, advocate on their behalf, and provide them support. And we'll also learn few things about skateboarding in Palestine.
