The Ayaan Hirsi Ali Podcast is a home for critical thinking and common sense.
Critical thinking, objective truth and free speech have always been under assault.
Ayaan will talk to amazing people who have given a lot of thought to these issues. Some of her guests will surprise you. Some of the topics we’ll be covering are ones she's never approached before.
What all Ayaan's guests will have in common is a passion for free inquiry and speech. They are not afraid to explore different perspectives, even if it means challenging their own assumptions, or violating cultural taboos. You, the audience, can make up your minds which arguments make most sense to you. We would love to hear your thoughts after each show.

Excellent podcast
Ayaan I appreciate your willingness to ask the hard questions, to delve into discussions more than is typically allowed by mainstream. Your guests have been very helpful to me in learning perspectives I had not previously considered.
