    Albert Camus: The Absurdity Of It All

    Albert Camus was a literary giant of the 20th century, known for his philosophy of absurdity in the human quest for the meaning of life.  His personal life and North African roots helped shape his writing.  In philosophy circles, many called him a prominent voice of existentialism, but Camus distanced himself from the movement. In hindsight, was he a brave man of unwavering principle or a man whose principles lacked adequate bravery. Support the show: https://www.aljazeera.com/podcasts/hindsight/

    Asmahan: The Druze Diva

    Asmahan was a rebel in a world of expectations. From a Druze Princess to exalted singer in 1930s and 40s Egypt – she lived in extremes and did exactly what she wanted. Asmahan also moonlighted as a messenger during the Second World War and when she was killed under mysterious circumstances, not even the benefit of hindsight would definitively clear things up.  Support the show: https://www.aljazeera.com/podcasts/hindsight/

    Raya and Sakina: Egypt’s Sisters in Crime

    Raya and Sakina endured the daily grind of poverty, personal tragedy and societal prejudice in early 20th century Egypt, only to be embroiled in a series of unspeakable crimes. Their names conjure up the same kind of horror and fascination in Egypt as Jack the Ripper in England, or Jeffrey Dahmer in the United States.  But in hindsight, do the sisters deserve the same notoriety?  Connect with us: @AJEPodcasts on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook Support the show: https://www.aljazeera.com/podcasts/hindsight/
