“I have been thoroughly enjoying the How I Found My Voice podcast. Host Samira Ahmed is generous, well-researched and so inquisitive. She speaks with the cream of the crop in terms of the truly important influencers and thought leaders of our time. Her chat with Margaret Atwood grabbed me...”Read full review »

“I was looking forward to listening to this as I love Michael Palin. I found the questions rather abrasive and accusatory in parts. Unnecessary forthright style. Disappointing.”

“One of my favourite podcasts. Samira is such a warm and interesting interviewer. You can tell she really does her research; and her questioning is excellent. The list of interviewees is varied - from Bernardine Evaristo to Graham Norton. Highly recommended. I look forward to every new episode.”

“Love Samira’s style of gently probing her guests with questions and getting deep into how they feel or felt. Listened to Ottolenghi and Graham Norton and I felt I could get inside their heads when they were young and how it shaped them into who they are today. Fascinating insights into people. Love.”
