2023 is drawing to a close and we’re spending our last two episodes of the year to look back over the past twelve months and the stories that have shaped the Middle East.
For our first episode of our review, we look at the months from January to June, with help from some of The New Arab’s journalists, correspondents, and editors.
We remember the earthquake in Turkey, the normalisation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the protests in Israel, Erdogan’s victory, and much more.
This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).
Theme music by Omar al-Fil.
