If your podcast rotation could use a little less doom and gloom and a little more discovery, I've got something for you.
This week on Add This To Your Playlist, I'm introducing you to This Being Human, an arts and culture podcast from the Aga Khan Museum that explores Muslim art, culture, and the surprising ways we're all connected.
Ever wondered how Arabic typography has shaped the world of design? Or what happens when an artist turns a collection of 12,000 everyday objects into a museum? From the architecture behind some of Toronto's most beautiful buildings to the creative possibilities of modest fashion, this show takes you into worlds you might never have thought to explore.
With a new host, Mai Habib, and full video episodes, This Being Human is back for its fifth season, and I'm sharing a conversation with Egyptian architect Kareem Ibrahim about his work revitalizing the historic city of Esna. It's a pretty incredible example of how art, culture, and community can come together to create meaningful change.
If you're curious about the world beyond your own backyard, or just love hearing from people doing interesting things you never knew were possible, I think this show deserves a spot in your rotation.
