    I have not seen an episode posted since November 28, 2025. I’m guessing the podcast is being censored by Apple in the U.S. I’ll try catch livestreams when able or subscribe to Patreon. Thanks for all y’all do. You’re the best outlet in West Asia.

    Sharmine Narwani is a graduate of Oxford and Colombia University. She perfectly understands both the Western mind and the West Asian. She narrates the Cradle podcast - which is a very welcome addition. This is great independent west Asian analysis at a time when this region is on fire. Highly recommended
