EarBuds Podcast Collective: * أَهْلًا وَسَهْلً - Ahlan wa Sahlan- Welcome!*
5 podcast episodes according to a theme, curated by a different person each weekMarch 9 - 13, 2020
Hey, EarBuddies! We're trying something a little different this week: podcast recommendations in more than one language. Thank you to our curator, Miriam, for helping us test these waters. Big shouts to our newest patron via Patreon, Maja Scepanovic! You, too, can become a patron here! -- Arielle Nissenblatt, founder of EarBuds
PODCAST CURATOR'S NAME: Miriam Tinberg
WHY THIS THEME?: I have held a passion and curiosity for the Middle East for more than a decade at this point. We so rarely hear nuances or complexities about the region; those are my favorite. My hope is that the podcast medium creates an opportunity for people who wouldn't otherwise be exposed to these stories to sit, listen, think, and allow for those gray areas.
MONDAY: See Something Say Something - Taking the Numb Out of Numbers - 40 minutes TUESDAY: Kerning Cultures - Not Just My Hijab (Part I) - 22 minutes WEDNESDAY: Man Up - Why Can't My Wife and I Pray Together - 31 minutes THURSDAY: Al Empire - Hamed Sinno: Mashrou’ Leila Singer/Songwriter - 44 minutes FRIDAY: Jasadi - أول مرة (My Body: First Time) - 21 minutes NB: I (Miriam) wanted to include an Arabic episode to stay true to the theme of representation and inclusion. This podcast episode features a few different Arabic women talking about their first times hearing and experiencing the concept of sex, something considered haram, or shameful, in that part of the world. I apologize if this is inaccessible to most (if not all) of you reading this, but I put this here for the handful of you that maybe *do* speak or study Arabic because a) representation matters, particularly for those few voices on the periphery, and b) this topic is so rarely discussed in the MENA (Middle East, North Africa) that I just can't get enough. GET IN TOUCH: Email | Twitter | Instagram SELF PROMO: If you, or anyone you know are enrolled in a degree-granting institution (undergrad, grad etc.), and are interested in studying Arabic and living in the MENA region, I can talk your ear off about State Dept. grants and scholarships to apply for to that will get you there for free! I can talk Fulbright, Gilman, Critical Language Scholarship, Boren. etc. and love reading application essays so hit me up! CROWDSOURCING QUESTION: Reflect on your podcast queue: is it mainly voices and stories that are familiar to you? Stories that you might hear in your circles already? Or, is it a mix of voices that aren't otherwise represented in your non-podcast life? No judgement here- just interesting to think about and discuss. HASHTAG FOR DISCUSSION: #WelcomeAhalan
