Summer's here, and that means one thing for Arab Americans... it's time to head back "home" to the Arab world!

In this episode, we dive into what it’s like having two homes — the U.S. and the Arab world. We talk about what it’s like for Arab Americans visiting the Arab World - the things that make us feel deeply connected, the things we absolutely love (on demand Shawarma and Knafeh) to a few things we could do without (intrusive and judgmental comments from the aunties). Whether you're packing your bags for a summer trip or just feeling nostalgic, this episode is for everyone who knows what it’s like to live between two worlds.

Plus, Adam shares the surprising things Arabs and rural Americans have in common.

This week’s episode starts heavy - Trying to live a normal life while a genocide is happening in Gaza feels unbearable. We reflect on how it’s been hard to move through everyday life with Gaza on our minds and in our hearts. And then somehow, we end up talking about feet pic side hustles, trying to lose weight after 40, and other random tangents.
