S1E4 The Call
Islam is at war with the West. Apparently. In this episode, Naima examines her experience growing up Muslim and tries to make sense of why Islam has become such a demonised religion. How do you stop yourself from becoming prejudiced against Muslims when everything around you links Islam with fear?
This is the first of a mini series featuring the stories of Third Culture people from the 7 Muslim majority countries targeted by Donald Trump’s recent executive orders.

Excellent discourse; beautiful narratives
Naima, you are excellent. Third Culture has the rare ability to delve into stories that are soulful, memorable and sincere. Every episode resonates in a unique way, to our human condition.

Thoughtful and important
This intelligently produced podcast is essential listening for our increasingly insular world. And did I mention how beautiful it is?
Reminiscent of 'This American Life'
Where are you from? I used to asked this question frequently mostly out of curiosity. I have learned, however, that many find this question prying, unsettling, or frankly offensive.
In her gentle voice Naima enlightens and fascinates. She is a beautiful story teller in the style of 'This American Life'.
Can't wait for more.
