What I've Learned From My Guest Scholars About the Middle East

I've interviewed 150 professors (and counting) to distill history, discuss current events and deep dive into issues researched and written about in their books. In this program, scholars analyze the Middle East - its past & present.


🚩About Host:
I am Adel Aali, host and executive producer of Unravelling the Middle East.

First and foremost, thank you for visiting our YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy our program.

I started Unravelling the Middle East to provide a better understanding of this often volatile region. There is so much that we don't understand about the Middle East. And I believe our program can shed some light on the long shadows of history that color our visions of the Middle East.

Before Unravelling the Middle East, I produced the History Behind News podcast (details below). And way before that, I practiced patent law and later dove deep into entrepreneurship and founded a startup based on my patented medical inventions.

🚩Community🌎🌍🌎, Comments📋 & Quizzes💯:
Please don't hesitate to share your comments with me. I look forward to hearing from you and will personally respond to your comments - usually within a day.
