Medicine, Politics & Gaza - The Real Story
What happens when doctors become witnesses?

EPISODE 3
Why We Chose Comedy
What makes someone pick up a mic and turn their life - their background, their family, their pain - into comedy?
Samir Abdul (Sudanese American), Sepehr Vakil (Iranian American professor turned comedian), Damon Howard (Native American comedian), and Zaid Fouzi (Syrian American) get into identity, family, faith, occupation and oppression, and the question every comedian eventually faces: am I leaning too hard on where I come from?
