Salam Amreekies Fam! I think we can safely call this episode directed by Alla, as she masterfully leads the way through many fun and informative subjects. Please join the three Amreekies Alla, Mohammad and Ehab as they discuss Alla's big new life updates, Netflix's Mo, entrepreneurship in the community and being financially literate and prepared for the future. Please excuse the audio quality, so many things went wrong, it's kind of a miracle that we even have an episode :) Thank you for your listenership!

Salam wonderful Amreekies listeners! After a little bit of a break, we are back with an easy going catch-up episode where co-hosts Ehab and Mohammad take turns sharing about their experiences in trying to be themselves at work. Please join them for an entertaining discussion around codeswitching, gaffs at work, reading the room, being "too nice" as a guy in the workplace and being Arab and/or Muslim at work, especially at a time where there is such a thing as Ms. Marvel.

It's the clash of cultures! A battle royale between two podcast hosts of different faiths! Just kidding :) Ehab has gone rogue again with a one-on-one episode with Jonty, co-host from a podcast called Beer Christianity. Please join Ehab and Jonty as they share their thoughts on dealing with depression and anxiety while performing and hosting, being a niche version of your faith and demonstrating another side of your faith to outsiders. They also discuss podcast producing angst, not being a very good Christian/Muslim. This episode is a joint episode, published in slightly different forms by both podcasts. Thank you for your listenership!

Not in the mood for anything intense or serious? No problem. Join the Amreekies co-hosts: Mohammad, Alla and Ehab as they kick back, unwind and talk about their most recent life events always with a flavor of wit and humor :) We always appreciate you and your listenership! Not so fun fact: unbeknownst to him at the time, Ehab had (a short-lived) case of COVID while recording this. That's why his voice is so different.

Peace and Salam to all! As we enter the last 10 days of Ramadan, we thought we would slow things down with a brief chat between two old friends about childhood, adolescence and single bachelor life during Ramadan. Please join Ehab and Mohammad Gasmalla as they discuss their overlap in a Saudi-run elementary school in Tucson, staying in the library during lunch in high school while fasting and hitting up them 24/7 Mexican fast food places for Suhur during college. Overall, it was a relaxing and chill conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Thank you so much for your listenership and your support :)
