We discuss his journalism career and transition from mainstream media to independent podcasting, and the common criticism both of us face when recording episodes with 'regime' figures.

Our conversation includes a look back at the March 14 movement, investigative journalism's role in the port blast aftermath and the potential for October 17 parties to win seats in next year's parliamentary elections.

Jad Ghosn is a former television host and documentary producer at Al Jadeed and currently hosts his independent podcast 'Reflections with Jad Ghosn'.
