Episode 155: Syrian-American Perspectives on the Syrian Revolution, Overthrowing Assad, and the Future of the Region

Diffused Congruence: The American Muslim Experience

To close out 2024 Parvez and Omar are joined by two Syrian-American guests to share their perspectives on the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, the potential implications and challenges facing post-Assad Syria, and how the Syrian-American community is responding to these events.
Along the way the show's guests candidly (and humorously!) discuss their experiences growing up as children of Syrian immigrants in the United States.
To change things up a bit, the show begins dropping listeners in the midst of a "pre-podcast" conversation about the present challenges of professional life and grind culture in Silicon Valley. Interestingly a conversation that’s happening right now on social media after Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent comments.
