Really enjoying this book. High quality recordings and very interesting subjects to someone who knows little about Lebanon. Looking forward to the Egyptian version as well. Shame you don’t do Greek as well !!

This is a great concept — a podcast-style script with a big range of topics. The voices are excellent and the content is super informative. The only thing I’d adjust is more of a direct word-for-word English translation, as there’s some paraphrasing at times. But still it’s 5 Stars. Really useful content and great discussion questions too. Excellent!
