Stirring call for authenticity and tolerance

This podcast is about compelling human stories with exceptionally high stakes because of the culture in which they occur. These are thought-provoking, tender narratives supported with great music and production value. Recommended.

Eye opening

Living in a country where being queer is widely accepted, this audible opened my eyes to the cultural norms in the Middle East and other societies/religions. I did not know that in some places you are punished for being who you are. Beautiful and educating.
