Learn, unlearn & relearn #Racism
I'm back with my regular guest and co-host Mahfuz. Both being South Asian Bangladeshi's born and bred in Britain. We experienced racism in different forms, mine from being a minority from Surrey and his from authorities within Inner City London. In addition to our own experiences, we take an honest look into the racism in our own communities, the influence of media and the long imprint of colonialism. This is such a deep rooted subject that we will continue our discussion in another episode. Tune in! Backing track by Omar Esa - Tera Pyar

R Number #Lockdown
In this line up I catch up with my boy Saif after prime minister BoJo’s latest covid 19 announcement. The mathematician highlighted the Covid alert level which is generated by the rate of infection + the number of infections. This scale allows him to calculate whether the NHS would be overwhelmed with Covid 19 patients or not. BJ also emphasised a conditional plan where the lockdown will not be lifted yet there will be no cap on stepping outside. We wonder what this means for those that can’t WFH yet require public transport to commute. We express our growing concern of needing a vaccine. We question everything in his three step plan. Tune in! Backing beating by Lakey Inspired - Blue Boi.

Understanding #RamadanOnLock
New 4 part series every Thursday during Ramadan. In this line up I am joined by Mahfuz. We look at the positives of this month and how good the fast is going. The ease of distractions and making conscious shifts to personal development. The negative connotations of seasonal muslims. Unifying the different age groups at Masjid committees.
How we claim to love our prophets but true love comes from studying the sunnah. Mahfuz recommends books such as “The Sealed Nectar" and “Shamaa’il Tirmidhi”. We touch base on courses and so much more. Tune in! Backing beat by Omar Esa - Dunya.

Perseverance #Lockdown
In this line up we travel to NCR, near Chandigarh which is located in Punjab, India. I touch base with my pal Dal (clean shaven) who planned a 17 day trip but 10 weeks on he's still there. The impact covid 19 has had on his taxi firm and the adaptive approach to stay afloat.
We discuss the angle India is taking to tackle the pandemic where the country is split into zones with specific rules for each area.
He relives the time he was taken into custody. We look into corruption and managing the move between cities in order to quarantine with loved ones. I question the death toll considering the country has a population of 1.3b and the Corona free states in the southern region. Dal also shares some good news. Tune in!
