A great guest, Nihal El Aasar joins to talk about politics and Arab culture, including music, film, and sports. How has Arabic cultural expressions and politics been responding to the genocide in Gaza? While the peoples of West Asia feel incredible anguish, they are prevented from expressing solidarity in effective ways by corrupt comprador governments that viciously suppress political action. Exploring facets of the question "Where are the Arabs?" Nihal's reflections on the "impossibility of politics" before October 7th and the political consequences and their expressions in cultural forms will be invaluable. Nihal is an Egyptian writer, political commentator and analyst, DJ and radio host based in London.
