Hi, I’m Thoraya. You may know me from YouTube or social media where I interact with and share stories of strangers. 95% of my daily interactions begin with an introduction, so if you don’t know me, bear with me while I piece together yet another one. I spend my life meeting strangers and engaging them in intimate conversations with me, and sometimes even with one another. In this new podcast, I share these strangers with you, an audience of other strangers, in hopes that one day we won’t feel so “strange” to one another anymore. So, nice to meet you. I’m Thoraya and welcome to “Hey, Stranger!"

    18. A Man Who Reveals A Lifelong Secret

    A man who was once a stereotypical high school bully shares how he secretly wishes he was known as the opposite. Expressing that his size and athletic appearing body is not how he imagines himself or feels on the inside. He shares how he began and continues to tune into his true passions as he grows older and that he will never forgive himself for how he once treated some classmates.

Because Thoraya Asked Us To

A five star review is the least I can do for how much Thoraya has given us through this podcast. I hope you find yourself in Austin, TX one day!

allwaysThankYou ,

Discover new

I feel myself like a some lucky man, who never hear this podcast before. Already had listen just 18 podcast and downloaded all the rest! And also want to listen once again. Great work!

A stranger I never forgot

First off, been a huge fan for years now on YT.
The stranger I never forgot…there are so many. But the one that comes to mind is the older guy, maybe 65, I would see every morning on my way to school. My mother and I would see him every day. And he was always riding his bike along the road we took to my high school. Nothing really special about him or any interaction with him. Just every morning he brought a smile to our faces and we would joke about what his plans for the day were.
