Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
I first heard of this podcast from the Taz Ahmed interview--she runs one of my favorite podcast, GoodMuslimBadMuslim,-- and I figured I would check out the rest of their episodes. I'm glad I gave it a chance. The episodes are interesting, they cover a plethora of topics from a nuance perspective; humorous, dating in Missouri is hard; and all around just great. I definitely recommend giving this podcast a chance!
