Anisa Khalifa

A podcast about what it was like to grow up Muslim in the shadow of 9/11, how coming of age during that era changed the trajectories of our lives, and how the experience differed either side of the Atlantic. Featuring moving, essential, and sometimes surprisingly funny interviews with artists, academics, journalists, religious leaders, and more.

We're Saya, Anisa, and Paroma, three women brought up in three different continents, as diverse in our cultural outlooks as we are in our accents. With our powers of drama analysis combined, we formed Dramas Over Flowers: a podcast that lets us work through the joys and frustrations of our love affair with Korean dramas.

In the earth beneath our neighborhoods, the woods surrounding our favorite hiking trails and the waters that line our coasts lurks a strange phenomenon: Creatures that have traveled great distances to call communities in the South home – and wreak havoc on the world around them. As unwelcome as these new neighbors may be, they’re also giving scientists, farmers, fisherfolk, homeowner associations and more a chance to get creative finding ways to eliminate these species, mitigate their harm or work toward a more peaceful coexistence. CREEP is a podcast that encourages us to lean in for a closer look at how insects and animals are changing the environment, economy and health of our region in ways we never expected. Presented in partnership with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
