We've returned from our break in New York, only to come to a horrible realization: We never really introduced ourselves.

Your humble co-hosts are both some flavor of Pakistani-Muslim-American. How do our backgrounds affect us as people and as content creators? And that leads us to examine the relationship between culture and religion in general. It's common for us to attribute good morals to a religious upbringing but maybe faith isn't the only reason we embrace certain values.

Finally, we talk about the goals of this podcast. Political comedy is arguably overdone, but we're specifically looking to make complicated ideas easy to understand, and what better way to teach than through really stupid jokes?

Don't make fun of the crappy photoshop for the episode art or else we'll put you in a sweatshop for whenever we start making merchandise.
