Gultu Lay Shinu?

We're making history this week -- with our FIRST GUEST EVER! I'm joined by comedian/comédien/artist Mustafa Jorry for a conversation on doing your own thing, and laughter as medicine. Follow Jorry on Instagram @mustafa_jorry.

TRIGGER WARNING: I've decided to throw scripts out the window and "speak from the heart" -- and what my heart has to say iissss.... heavy, lol. This week we're talking about elderly parents and the painful transition from child to caretaker. Not the funnest topic, but I hope those of you going through this experience will relate/share.

This was supposed to be a review of Mohamed Kordofani's 2020 short documentary on the Khartoum sit-in, but ended up a trip (or JAWLA *wink*) down memory lane for me. Did you participate in i3tisam alqiyada? What is your favorite memory from it? Watch the film here: https://youtu.be/CNvu2KBR1D4 - follow Mohamed Kordofani on instagram @mohamed_kordofani. And follow me! @BSonblast everywhere :)

I'm back! Tentatively, and with great trepidation lol... Ease back into the mess with me - and let me know what (and who) you want to hear this season! Leave me a comment on SoundCloud, or hit me up on Twitter/Instagram @BSonblast!

TRIGGER WARNING: this episode contains sensitive content, including the sounds of protest, gunfire, and grief/death. I recorded this episode on Thursday night, after almost 20 hours awake following the June 30 demonstrations in Sudan. These are my raw feelings after a day that while monumental, was also crushing. May the Sudanese people emerge triumphant against all those who conspire against us. May we all finally be free.

For Father's Day, I sat down with my dad, a.k.a Abouy, and tried to uncover the mystery of how he came to be the father he is. He led us down a winding road of conversation, which was hijacked at one point by my mother, a.k.a. Ummi. I hope you'll enjoy. Share your thoughts in the comments, or on Instagram/Twitter @BSonblast. And don't forget to leave me a review on Apple & Google Podcasts! The song you heard in this episode was 'Allah Fog Zozo', by Khider Bashir. You can listen to the track here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azj-B9gcP3k

Grief has been an overwhelming emotion over the last couple of weeks, which is why I've been absent, and why it is the topic for this episode. I'm curious to know what you guys think. Share your perspective in the comments, or on Instagram/Twitter @BSonblast. This episode was produced via the iconic 3igd Elgalad. You can listen to the track here: https://bit.ly/3NNB8IG

Why did I decide to make a podcast in English AND Arabic? Listen to the rollercoaster that is the explanation. This episode was brought to you via Notorious BIG's "Sky's the Limit". Stream it wherever you find your music. Episode co-edited by Ahmed Tariq.

Hosting a podcast solo is terrifying, but I'm excited. Will you join me? This first episode was brought to you via Sammany Hajo's song, "Shay Be Laban". You can stream it on Spotify, and follow Sammany on Instagram: @SammanyHajo.
