July 24, 2026 Raising Empathetic Children ft. Mehak Irshad Razaque
Has the constant grind of the school-work-life routine ever seemed too much? So many of us function as per routine on a daily basis without wondering too much about the greater picture or what it would mean to not be a cog in the machine.

In today's episode host Anmol Irfan is joined by Mehak Irshad Razaque, an early childhood educator and host of Ta'luq, an education services platform providing holistic educational workshops for children and adults. For Mehak, Ta'luq fills a gap in society that allows us to move more towards working on our Tarbiyah as a whole rather than just learning what makes the system work.

May 22, 2026 Dignity In Care Ft. Hourab Din
With conversations around menstruation still being so taboo, we often forget those that are even more vulnerable within these situations. Women with disabilities often face a much higher amount of shame and lack of access when it comes to menstrual hygiene management.

In today's episode, host Anmol Irfan is joined by Hourab Din, Pakistani gender and social development professional, feminist, and digital journalist focusing on the rights of women and children. Hourab has specifically been working on empowering women with disabilities to gain greater access to menstrual hygiene products and challenge shame and stigmas around them particularly in vulnerable communities. She dives into how these communities and their needs are often ignored, and the work that still needs to be done to create a more equal footing.

In our latest episode, host Anmol Irfan is joined by advocate Sahar Bandial, who authored Equality Now's recent report on the implementation of this legal response to sexual violence in Pakistan. Sahar, whose legal work has long revolved around access to justice for women alongside a broad range of other areas, breaks down the findings of the report, and how survivors in Pakistan can use such work to better empower themselves in their own journey for justice
