I strive to be a lifelong student of the world - someone who never stops learning more about people, culture, and languages. It can be hard to find podcasts that explore the vast nuances of these topics in a sensitive, non-lecturey way. I am still working through all the episodes, but this...Read full review »

I heard all episodes, it’s incredible how you guys had improved so much and your histories are so intense and interesting. I’m from South America and in my country there’s a big Lebanese community and also from other countries in the Middle East, it’s so nice to know about their histories (even...Read full review »

Not good

I caught an episode on Sheikh Imam on “The Kitchen Sisters Presents” and I am grateful beyond words to the creators, reporters, presenters, producers, and crew who have made this podcast (and the “Masafat” podcast). It makes me so proud to be hearing theses stories from these perspectives and not...Read full review »

If you care about the most important issues and marginalised voices in the SWANA region particularly, but aren’t listening to/supporting Kerning Cultures, then you are missing out big-time. Yalla listen!

Great journalism with a compelling narrative. I appreciate the perspective of an underrepresented (to an American audience) part of the world.

I really appreciate the efforts they put in to provide an English language source for stories we don’t normally hear.

In a sea of news that often focuses on numbers, violence, and big overviews, Kerning Cultures stands out in its quest to show individual stories and experiences that help reshape this region in our psyche. It’s brilliant, and you won’t be able to stop listening or thinking about it.

An amazing podcast with wonderful storytelling. As a white woman in middle America I know very little of the history of Northern Africa and the Middle East. What a wonderful way to learn more. Bravo.

I love this podcast. It’s sensitive, informative and the story telling is incredibly beautiful. It’s a rare gem. I particularly love the episode Exodus. Couldn’t stop my tears. Start here. And let the magic take you over.
psareen via Apple Podcasts · India · 05/18/21
Great stories here, and thoughtful ideas about who owns cultural heritage. How do matters of ‘peace’ perpetuate an inegalitarian status quo namely one of continued occupation. there is also the question of access. Who will be able to access the materials if they are in Israel and who will be...Read full review »

I’ve loved listening to the stories presented on this show. Some standout favorites include the episode about the Cedars of Lebanon donated to the United States, cultural influences from Arab North Africa found in Mexico and Puerto Rico, and Sesame Street in the Arab world. The producers have a...Read full review »

No other podcast, regional or otherwise, is as good at telling stories as this one. Go team!

i am not of MENA descent so I have learned so much about the cultures and social issues going on in the region from this show. It’s wonderfully produced with fascinating topics and guests. I especially enjoyed the episodes “The K-Pop Wave” and “Loving Lynn” because i am Korean & Filipino...Read full review »

Thank you so much for the episode on Operation Nemesis. It was absolutely worth listening to well executed prepared presented . And most of all it shows how much injustice we have suffered as armenians and shows us how powerful we could be if we unite and put our minds to good use.

Rich and intriguing stories told with warmth. Insightful and surprising.

This is one of the most thoughtful, balanced podcasts I have ever listened to. As someone who has lived in the MENA region for 20 years (and who was incidentally born in Cairo) this gives me a whole new look and perspective into the region. Beautifully crafted and so diverse, every episode is...Read full review »

Abalkhy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/20
This podcast has helped me understand an area of the world that has been mystifying and steeped in a past that seems as long as time. The stories are fresh and edutainment. The reporters are aware and available to share their own learning which makes Kerning cultures a must listen for me. Thank you.
TherapyForfieh via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/05/20
I love this podcast. It’s interesting, informative, touching, and expands my world. Thank you.
BSACO via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/20
I heard of this podcast while listening to this American life some time ago. I’m glad I started following kerning cultures, because it was love at first “listen”. You can expect very personal stories and interviews, which give you a sight of the Middle East and it’s people. Great job!
trañala via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 01/17/20
I cannot think of a podcast I enjoy more. The broad range of topics. Human-centered focus of the reporting, and cultural translation are so welcome! Thank you! Keep going!
AliceR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/20
Well done podcast that makes you want to keep listening. The moderators do a great job of helping the listener understand the people’s wants and needs.
S H Marler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/20
This podcast does the best job contextualizing the Middle East in their summaries of history and their inclusion of real peoples’ stories. Highly recommend!
