EP 126: Don’t Fear the Reaper: The Muslim Exorcist | Abu Mujahid
EP 121: Low Voltage | Tanzim Alam and Joshua Fayez
You guys get great guests… If only the hosts would talk less and actually let the guests speak.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatuulahi wa barakatu.
This podcast has inspired me! I want to write an article on “How to Show Love to Your Spouse” or “How to Communicate Lovingly With Your Spouse”
I would find it interesting to talk to people within the community that have married reverts with a western background. Do they find that the communication and affection is different than they might have expected had they married someone from their community or from their own family? I would imagine that it is to some extent.
Asalaamu Alaikum. I really enjoyed this podcast. It was informative and enlightening. It was refreshing to hear the perspective of the women and men in how to improve interpersonal relatiomships and intrapersonal conversations of both genders. May Allah grant you all success. Aameen
Assalamu alaikum,
it’s my first time listening to your podcast, I enjoyed it very much.
However, I would have like to have the chance to listen more to the guest since I believed with her level of knowledge she could have contributed and shed more light to the discussion. At moments I though she wasn’t even there anymore. Perhaps, next podcast could be with only her and one of you or you could make the podcast longer to have a chance to listen to everyone in shaa Allah for equal time. Aside from that, I really liked it.
Assalamualaikum
I was hoping to hear from a person with psychology background on this issue if polygamy. As well as it’s larger impact on families and children.
Sadly, she hardly got a chance to speak as the three hosts just took over.
It was like listening to the hosts chatting over coffee. There were some good points but honestly with this sort of format why do you bring on any experts?
Relax. Take a deep breath…
She’ll be back on the show.
