It's a post-election world and The Amreekies are at it again! Join Mohammad, Alla, Ehab, and guest speaker (and social media coordinator), Dania Alkhouli, as they discuss why the election results—while praiseworthy—are still disappointing, how many Arabs and/or Muslims voted for the incumbent candidate who shall not be named, and the prevalence of the dreaded toxic masculinity among Arab and/or Muslim culture and society, and what we can do about it. While it’s one of our more lengthier episodes, it’s definitely worthwhile in its entertaining banter and wonderful co-host chemistry. Thank you for your listenership and support!
