Not gonna lie... a pretty rough episode in terms of topics.

We make our final election predictions before moving on to discuss the shocking news about Al Maghrib Institute's Wissam Sherif, as well as the organization's unemphatic response. For those who would rather skip the details and discussion of the specific allegations of sexual abuse, we introduce the topic at around 27:00 and shift the discussion at 30:00. We also discuss the migrant worker deaths in Saudi Arabia, NEOM, and the Mukaab projects.

Ahmed quit his job! Yasmine finished the Tour de Appalachia. We then discuss the election, who we're voting for, and a really important Thomas Friedman op-ed.

Director, producer, all around Very Good Boy Corey Reid stops by while Yasmine is away.

We have a fun conversation about the Prager U Infidel video warning about the ever-present threat of radical Islam.

Here is a post that links to mutual aid orgs in Western NC

We talk about the all-out war happening after Israel's persistent attempts to escalate through its attacks on Lebanon.

We then shift to a story about a man in North Carolina who loves trains so much it got him in trouble!

Our first installment of what will be a series of episodes in which we analyze Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing and its deleterious effect on the American liberal psyche.

More of an updates episode we recorded after a long day of traveling. We talk about the NYU definition of "Zionist," Israel's siege on the West Bank and its refusal to advance ceasefire negotiations, as well as Kamala Harris's unwillingness to change her policy on supporting a genocide. We end up going back and forth about the Green Party for a bit before we close out.

We have some great guests we're trying to get for future episodes. It would help us out a ton if you could share/rate the podcast, as well as help us increase our reach by following on Instagram @the_field_between_pod

Much like a roundtable of Islamic scholars at Azhar University, we ponder whether sex toys and Islam are compatible.

Despite some minor audio issues, this is a fun one! We'll try to be back mid-week for a bonus episode.
