The Field Between

We talk about how the trip is going so far. We recorded this one using the laptop mic, so the audio is not the premium quality you've come to expect from TFB.

We planned on a very different episode, but it takes a turn halfway through because He is the best of all planners. We start off discussing NYT's The Daily podcast and how blind the media has been to Biden's sundowning tendencies, but then we end up reacting to the Biden news as it happened. We finish up with our predictions for what might happen with the presidential race, and the recent ICJ ruling on the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

Did you miss us? Thankfully nothing crazy happened while we were gone.

Getting back into the swing of things. You'll have to excuse the covid-induced lethargy.

We made it to 50!

We talk about Shaun King, who recently converted to Islam. Should Muslims entrust hundreds of thousands of dollars to a man who has a Saul Goodman-style approach to charity? Our answer may shock you.

Also in this episode is our second installment of what is sure to be a regular segment: Fatwa Frenzy! We discuss a 10th-Century legal case in which a Christian living in Muslim Spain tries to use the legal system to meet God.

We give our review of Dune 2, then we go on to discuss our Ramadan goals. We debut our new segment FATWA FRENZY! Lastly, we update on the investigative reporting by The Intercept on the NYT's propagandistic piece titled 'Screams Without Words."

We are trying to bring more guests on the show, so if you have suggestions, please DM us on Instagram (the_field_between_pod), but also review us wherever you listen to podcasts so we can make the proposition of appearing on our tiny podcast a compelling one.

Bunch of items at the top. We briefly go through some Gaza news, including the horrific self-immolation that happened in DC earlier today. Yasmine then discusses the legacy of Malcolm X.

Yasmine does a quick roundup of Palestine media, then we have a brief, unplanned discussion about despair.

Just the two of us again. Catching up on almost a month of Israel's war crimes and propaganda efforts.

We were thrilled to talk to author Abdul Rahman Latif about his newly published book 'Vultures In The House of Silence,' which combines elements of Islamic history and traditional story telling into a new and fun dark fantasy set at the end of times.

In addition to being a published author, Abdul Rahman Latif is the Muslim chaplain at Dartmouth College and a PhD candidate at Columbia University. You can find his new book on Amazon, Audible, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.
