Hello everyone!
To start off, I wanted to explain the intros and outros for this episode.
The first audio clip features 'Wile Wile'—a song I’ve been completely obsessed with lately. You can find it on YouTube [https://youtu.be/uVTH_R9hH8g?si=Nc7XR6NdF5rs7RDv]; that's actually just a recording of me studying and tapping along to the beat. The second clip is from a Somali dance called Buranbur, captured right as I jumped into the circle! For the third intro, you’ll hear this episode’s guest and me out at the mall practicing our accents. Lastly, you'll hear my dad on the phone on Eid morning; it is a tradition in our family to call and wish everyone an 'Eid Mubarak.'
As for the outros, we start with a friend wishing everyone a Happy New Year. That is followed by an audio message from a close friend reminding me not to give up—because we all know school is hard! Finally, I’ve included a bit more Buranbur, as it’s currently my favorite cultural dance.
Thank you so much for tuning in!
