    Ep 029 — For the Culture, Part II

    Quote:
    “Where do you want to start?” —Farhad Azad
    About:
    Afghanistan has far too often been referred to as a place where countries go to die, it is a graveyard of empires.
    This moniker has been cited so many times and for so long that it’s unclear who first said it. Even the Afghan community will recite this pride. But what a title like this fails to convey is that while this might be a country responsible for the many tombstones of others, it very well is also a moratorium of progress for itself, a state in perpetual arrested development.
    This is also a cemetery for countless Afghans who, in more modern times, failed to see any empire rise.
    Why do some countries get to debate their histories while others have their legacy determined by outsiders? And what gets lost along the way?
    This is Part II of a multi-part story on how history, current events, and culture all complicate the Afghan identity.

    Ep. 028 — For the Culture, Part I

    "You've got boys flying kites again..." —George W. Bush
    About:
    Oh, the privilege. 
    And what a privilege it is to publish a story about the broader theme of culture and identity, specifically for Afghanistan’s diaspora living in the States, like those on that third-culture-wave, when Afghans from the home country are left dealing with far harsher realities.
    The diaspora’s dilemma pales in comparison (if you’re that foolish to try and compare the two) to their dilemma. No less, it is still a dilemma.
    With that in mind, Part I of this multi-part story dives into that nebulous question...what does it really mean to be Afghan? Really, what does it mean to be from anywhere?
    This is a tricky one.

    We Too Shall Pass

    We Too Shall Pass

    Quote: "We are all from Allah, and to Allah we return" —Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 156
    About:
    In mere weeks, this country has seen COVID-19-related deaths rise past casualty totals for past wars and surprise attacks, sometimes passing those records daily. It seems like every day is filled with death.
    But this isn’t the first time humanity has faced a pandemic. And this isn’t the first time society has reckoned with death. Is this a punishment? Or is God to blame?
    In this latest podcast episode, we turn to the past for guidance on how to deal with our present—and it too is a trip.
