Growing up in Saudi Arabia as a Pakistani, who now resides in Canada, Eiynah brings a global perspective to discussions about religion, politics, culture & sexuality - through the lens of a progressive ex-muslim immigrant. This podcast often focuses on unpacking various forms of extremism, particularly types that are less overt and masquerading as ‘intellectual’. Eiynah has a specific interest in covering online scenes like New Atheism and the Intellectual Dark Web.

Introducing a new Polite Conversations miniseries: ‘Fashademics’ - where we talk about fash adjacency in academia (something this show has already covered for a long time).
For ep 1 of this miniseries I speak to former academic Nathan Oseroff-Spicer (nateo.bsky.social) about his review of the widely mocked ‘War on Science’ book, put together by Lawrence Krauss.
I would love to unlock this miniseries as we go along, but that can’t happen without your help dear listeners. Each episode takes a lot of time, research and work to put together. If you’d like to help this series keep going pls consider supporting the podcast via patreon.com/nicemangos
I’ll unlock the episode if we get just 5 new patrons! Please help us get there.
