TERRIBLE Audio EPIC Content - BBC Interviews MuslimMan™ Founder Nabeel Azeez
MuslimMan™
If you can bear with the awful audio quality of this recording, you are going to really enjoy this interview. Recently, I was interviewed by the BBC for their Heart and Soul podcast for a documentary about the rise of the Muslim manosphere. When I recorded this interview, I had to do it off of a screen share. I didn’t get the Zoom recording. I asked them for the recording but they refused, it’s not something they do. So I had to ninja record it. Alhamdulillah that I did, because they used less than 5% of a 45-minute interview. But the audio quality turned out to be really bad. So I had to...

How to Waste Your 20s as a Man
MuslimMan™
I wasted my 20s. Here’s how: a Born Muslim’s Convert Story. It was all necessary. Those experiences made me who I am today. But that doesn’t mean others have to make the same mistakes, or worse. You don’t have to learn the hard way. Most of you will, because you don’t listen to people with more experience than you. Some of you won’t. You’re the smart ones. This post is for you. Like me, Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes wasted his 20s. I asked him to join me on the show to talk about the mistakes

info_outlineLate last year, I had the chance to sit down to talk to Hussein Kesvani about his work as a Muslim journalist.
A lot happened between then and now that led to me not publishing this podcast episode soon after I recorded it.
I figure now's as good a time as any.
Hussein Kesvani is the UK/Europe editor for Mel Magazine, a publication ostensibly about men and masculinity (though I would argue it's perpetuating modern degeneracy and promoting men being Soyboys.)
This is most certainly a black mark against Hussein, who is otherwise a fine fellow and an accomplished, non-hacky journalist.
He's also written for Buzzfeed, Vice, The Independent, The Guardian, The New Statesman, The Shortlist, and Refinery29.
He's a co-host of the No Country For Brown Men Podcast and also the Trash Future podcast.
Here's what we talked about during our short chat:
- The relationship between a writer and his editor, and why journalists publish pieces that can seem "editorialized" [4:55]
- What journalists and copywriters have in common when writing about "subjects" and clients [8:42]
- The challenge of writing on topics involving Muslims in a non-Muslim publication [13:05]
- How BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) people can get their foot in the door of fast-changing world of modern journalism [17:20]
- Where does Hussein place crowd-funded, independent citizen journalists like Mike Cernovich, Tim Pool, and Lauren Southern in the ecosystem of journalism as a whole [23:58]
- How the definition of "journalism" has changed in recent years [27:18]
- On the journalistic value of what many citizen journalists think passes for journalism [30:09]
- Do mainstream media publications have a responsibility to be impartial and objective? [35:26]
- How can Muslim men get their start in journalism? Hussein gives us practical advice. (Hint: copywriting is an important skill) [39:56]
