Huma is one of my all-time favorite writers, and we are lucky to have her occasionally guest blogging on MideastYouth.com
While news was still hot on Musharraf’s resignation I chose to feature her in this week’s podcast to discuss the current situation and the future of Pakistan.
Apparently this is her first podcast ever, which is exciting, […]
For this podcast I interviewed Amira Al Hussaini, the Middle East and North Africa editor for Global Voices Online and also the editor of Voices Without Votes, which this podcast revolves around. You can read about the project here.
You might remember her from our previous podcast here.

A few days ago I interviewed Tori Egherman for our latest podcast, which is now published on our podcasting site. You may listen to it here.
Tori was an active author at Mideast Youth for a long time and you may read her previous posts here (under a pseudonym.)

But one of the limitations of mey’s podcasting feature was that submissions were restricted to authors registered with us. Not anymore, with the […]

Following up on this previous interview, I conducted another interview with a Kurdish student to represent more perspectives on the Kurdish issue.
Kurdish activists have a lot to say and are outspoken, but unfortunately not many people care to listen, or are generally aware of the severity of the many human rights abuses against Kurdish […]
