I love the podcast “Everything Everywhere Daily” Podcast. As the title implies it’s an omnivorous exploration of fascinating topics, often focusing on interesting places or pivotal moments in history. Most are approximately 10-minute summaries and for exploring more about the middle East, these podcasts would be a great place to explore further. The links are to Apple Podcasts, but you can listen/search for it on any podcast platform. As you explore topics in the Middle East, the list below is an excellent place to start. Choose one! See where it takes you.
