Ramadan Kareem! This year, we’re bringing you a variety of new Sowt episodes to accompany you during the month of Ramadan. Whether you’re cooking your Iftar, preparing for your afternoon nap, or driving home during rush hour, get ready to dip into history, learn about your favorite dishes, meet new alternative artists, or lose yourself in a true crime show.

The new season of Mahdoom brings you stories about halal trucks in New York, the story of Albaik, one of the most well-known fast food restaurants in Saudi Arabia, the experience of aircraft food, and Indian and Pakistani influences on street food in the Arab Gulf countries.

In a new season of Dom Tak, we meet a pioneering alternative artist in every episode, and we talk to Molotof, El Far3i, and Abo Sahar, among others.

Ahraz

We’re launching a new true crime podcast this month. In its first season, Egyptian journalist Ahmed Ragab follows the lives of four characters in an attempt to understand what happened on a hot summer day in July 2018, when Anba Epiphanius was found dead in the church he heads north of Egypt.

The ninth season of Eib is dedicated to issues related to the Arab family and its impact in our lives and future paths. We explore topics such as the sacred nature of the concept of family and the dynamics of large families, among others.
