Jad hooks us up with two more interviews from Lebanon.
In the first one we have an unorthodox opinion (by sectarian standards at least) on the current state of Lebanon and Lebanese politics.
In the second interview, we get to recall the great rides of merry-go-rounds of Lebanese government, who here ever had to get some official’s stamp or signature in Lebanon? You probably had to go through some of this.
In podcast #6, we look into the opposition protests that persist downtown Beirut.
The Arab league has intervened to mediate a possible solution, however the prospects of such a deal are yet unknown. This tensed situation has been accompanied with a sense of disgust among the Lebanese and is pushing people towards social activism.
We also venture into the unknown, the beard of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah*.
* To help dodge protests, Nasrallah’s beard was deemed a zionist resisting beard.
That’s a good thing.
What are callouts?
The 30LL.org team members will call up people on their phones, wherever they may be, and ask quick, straightforward questions and get their 30LL on a number of things.
Here’s a sample of what the callouts will be like, feedback is welcome.
Questions?
Who’s got the best hairdo in the Lebanese Parliment? / Who’s the Jagaliest (is that even a word? Let’s just say ‘Ajgal’) member of Parliment?
Mr. Mohamad dishes the 30LL quite fast, unfortunately, the few Liras he gave us required some censorship.
Mr YOSS seems to be one heck of a fan of.. well, listen and find out for yourself.
Captain Guy throws exceptions all over the place, and has questions (AND answers) of his own..
Somewhat censored.
Give us a shout to info@30LL.org, we’d like to collect your 30LL callout donation.
In episode #5, we carry on with our discussions on the latest opposition protests and examine the positive and negative influence of the media campaigns on these protests.
In the light side of the podcast, we move on to MP Nayla Mouawad’s facial hair (Exhibit A, Exhibit B*) with special analysis from Jad after conducting research on the matter.
* some photos may or may not be edited for effect.
Jad went for an encore in Downtown Beirut, and came back with a wealth of interesting interviews.
From kids to coffee vendors to Frenchies and returning immigrants with an accent…
This batch’s got it all.
Jad met Faysal, a young man who usually lives in the USA and is originally from Baaklin.
On the spot, Faysal is put to the test in trying to guess people’s religions, listen to see how he fares.
Ali, Jad, Joe, & Souss bring to you this week’s Podcast.
We will concentrate on the protests carried out by the opposition, their reasons, and what they’re trying to accomplish.
Also, more on the meeting between Bush, Abdullah, & Al Maliki. (But not much more)
Our last topic will continue our facial hair series, this week’s facial hair hero is MP Saad Hariri.
The crew in Lebanon has been going around interviewing people demonstrating around downtown Beirut. An Interviews section has been added to the website.
Following is an interview Jad had with a bunch of young men coming from Southern Lebanon and the Southern suburbs of Beirut.
Here’s what they had to say
