What I Did Next What I Did Next

I really enjoyed the episodes this season. The guests were extremely interesting in their diverse endeavors and offered forward thinking ideas and inspirations - it definitely stroke a thought process

So far I have enjoyed the three episodes immensely. I find the choice of guests extremely interesting and varied. I also like your choice of questions which are quite imaginative. Also my compliments to your confident and assertive delivery. Keep it up Malak and good luck 🤞 I have just listened to the fourth episode with the very inspirational Dina El Mofty. What a great example for girls and young women everywhere. Thanks for a fun episode Malak ... looking forward to the next one 👏👏 Amr & I have just finished listening to the fifth episode with Samih Sawiris. Even though we know him, it was thrilling to hear what he had to say in answer to your very intelligent questions. He seemed most relaxed and true to himself. Amr wants you to know how proud he is of you. Keep it up and we look forward to the next episode. 👍 Thursday 15 April ... Hi Malak We have just listened to the 6th episode with the very talented film maker Jehane Noujaim. You have achieved another successful podcast. I also wish to congratulate Jehane on the tremendous effort she has put into these fascinating productions. Bravo 👏👏👏 Thursday 14 May ...What an inspiring character is Omar Samra, and I admire his courage and resilience in the face of so many life challenges!!!

The title of the podcasts (What I Did Next) is in itself creative, since this is a program in the making which depicts the way that, in Egypt, a rather large bilingual and often trilingual layer of society still lives and thrives. In the first half of the twentieth century Egypt was known to be a most cosmopolitan country, where people interacted freely and where there were hardly any barriers to communication. There are large spaces in our genes. Your podcasts mostly consist in interviewing individuals whose lives are focused on creative activities in every aspect of living. on the other hand, Egyptian TV is not lacking in interviews introducing diverse personalities to the arabic speaking majority of this country and discovering your “What I did next” podcasts filled me with wonder, precisely because they showcase successful Egyptians who are perfectly bilingual and bi-cultural, and worthy pontifexes of the modern world, thus disclosing to the international community the social resilience that we know so well because the Egyptian people learned English under British rule, Russian when Russian was preponderant in this country, Greek and Italian and French when they had large communities and businesses thriving in the land of the Pharaohs. The host whom you are, Malak Fouad, is self-contained but enthusiastic, your English diction is flawless, your questions well-targeted. Your gallery of personas is of course carefully sketched out. They are selected among the most successful entrepreneurs, but also the wittiest and most articulate and you guide them to provide a clear idea about the maze in which life drives us all unawares. This is a eupeptic approach to people and their lives. I think everyone should hear the podcasts, they will love them!
