"The East Is A Podcast"
Today, I want to recommend you a very new podcast called "The East Is A Podcast" by Sina Rahmani.
Rahmani is Iranian-American. His work focuses on the Middle East, Postcolonialism and Critical Theory. Currently, he is working at UCLA.
I already had the pleasure to talk with Rahmani about my book "Tod per Knopfdruck" and my research on American drone warfare in Afghanistan.
Since Rahmani is a very creative person and also wants to experiment a little bit, his podcast sometimes appears extravagant.
For example, his most recent "guest" is famous Palestinian-American intellectual Edward Said who died in 2003. Rahmani made a mixtape of Said, talking about his friend Eqbal Ahmad who was another giant, and, of course, it is a must-hear.
