This is a subcriber only subseries of Politically Depressed in which Ayman narrates personal anecdotes. Usually funny, sometimes political, but almost always absurd, these stories range from things that have only just happened to stories from the archive - the stories that Ayman's friends are sick of hearing.

  1. 15. That Time I Met Rania Khalek

    15. That Time I Met Rania Khalek

    The story is much more than what the title suggests. By the end, I think this is one of my most absurd stories. As always, 100% true. This podcast is exclusive for Patreon and Apple Podcast Subscribers.

    14. The Cedar Conman

    This is one of the wildest things that's ever happened to me. Definitely in my top 5 favourite stories to tell. Hope you all enjoy it!

    13. Visiting Edward Said's Grave

    A couple months ago, I visited Edward Said's grave, in Brummana, Lebanon. As always, it wasn't as straightforward as you'd imagine. I recount the story of this trip, with my mother, to the resting place of one my most deeply-held thinkers.

    12. The Palestinian Hoarder's Collection

    This is a really important story for me. It takes place over the course of two years, and for a while was my main thing. This is my first attempt at doing something with the story, by sharing it with you all. I hope one day to do more with it, but for now, here is me talking about it for 45 minutes!

  5. 11. Reading Herzl's Diaries

    11. Reading Herzl's Diaries

    I found myself reading Theodore Herzl's dairies the other night. It's kind of a page turner. But also a haunted tome which spelled out the unspectacular acts of accumulation and planning that would eventually lead to complete catastrophe in my homeland. Otherwise dude was such a snob its ridiculous.

  6. 10. Eight Trains and As Many Stories

    07/16/2024 • SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

    10. Eight Trains and As Many Stories

    What was meant to be 2 trains turned into 8, 10 hours turned into 30. This was a recent experience I had travelling from Belgium to Austria. But I don't complain. Instead I share the many stories, random encounters, and odd observations I made along the way.

  7. 9. The American Suburbs of Saudi Arabia

    07/09/2024 • SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

    9. The American Suburbs of Saudi Arabia

    I talk a bit more about the "Western-style compounds" I grew up in in Saudi Arabia. I mention them in the previous episode, but realized there's definitely way more to be said. Cause they are, indeed, very weird.

  8. 8. Edward Said and my (former) Identity Crisis: Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learnt to Love Arabic

    07/03/2024 • SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

    8. Edward Said and my (former) Identity Crisis: Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learnt to Love Arabic

    I learnt Arabic later in life. For many reasons I hated it growing up, and everything associated with it. But as I grew older and discovered where my political priorities lie, and where I feel in community, things began to shift. This episode is exclusive for Patreon and Apple Podcast Subscribers.
