.... then make it this one. If you've any desire to understand the Muslim world then this is where you should be. I've been listening for years and have a bit of a man-crush on Aimen Deen. But Thomas Smalls' interviews and presentations since Aimen started phoning in sick have been outstanding. I swear by this podcast and have done for years. Get well soon Aimen.
I LOVE this podcast. Hooked & binging

I have been binging and can’t get enough. The challenge of dealing with such sensitive topics is bound to upset some people. If the narrative doesn’t fit with their opinion then they rate it as a bad podcast. As a novice in this topic I’ve found the historic context incredibly helpful. They have no shame in admitting when something is a personal option. The ability to laugh in troubled times without being disrespectful. I adore the hosts and their chemistry.
My Head is Exploding!

I love this podcast. I started listening recently but have gone back to listen to it from the start. It frequently makes my head explode with the effort to keep up and remember the endless groups mentioned such that I have to listen several times🥴 Love the pairing of Thomas and Aimen and I have learnt so much from them. I constantly recommend this pod - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Previously enjoyed and learned a lot from this podcast. Several recent episodes, especially the Andrew Fox one, was extremely disappointing. No questions or insights from Thomas while discussing an ongoing genocide.
