  • Great way to teach current events!

    I love this show for so many reasons! First- the host, Nelafur, is genuinely interested in every topic and every guest that she talks with. Her curiosity is infectious! And second- Every episode surfaces topics and angles on the issues that I wouldn’t normally think about- so many fresh perspectives to consider. As an educator I appreciate the variety of world views that this show illuminates! So important for us to break out of our silos and listen to how others see these complex issues.

  • All urgent society issues in one channel

    Hi Neulfar, you do a brilliant job here listing the opinions from the opposite end of the spectrum. And the documentary “The Traffickers” you produced is such a phenomenal film. It touched me and awakened me in so many ways. I was wondering if you and the team are planning to touch on the topic as such using this global platform?
