? EARS TO THE GROUND-

Tuck into a smooth retelling of Arab heritage stories: Kerning Cultures’ Hkayat Ramadan is a two-season show that narrates a series of stories from Arab heritage, with each story giving us a little bit of insight into historical events or social dynamics during a specific time in Arab history. The episodes narrate stories such as that of Shaghab, a slave to an Abbasid-era caliph, who falls in love with a trader before eventually becoming queen-mother and using her newfound power and influence to elevate the status of women within the caliph’s court. Each bite-sized episode of the two-season show runs under 10 minutes long, making it a nice, light listen to indulge in while you enjoy your post-iftar caffeinated beverage of choice.
