We’re the only hummus-themed podcast which is not a cooking show.
There is singing on this episode! Granted it’s not the most impressive singing, but it’s still singing. To children’s songs. On YouTube. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. This episode is about two things specifically. The first of which is what happens when there are misunderstandings which occur in escalated situations due to someone...
This is a very special episode: Faiqa’s on her own to host this one, but she welcomes a special guest to help talk about these two Jewish traditions. First — Passover. We’ve done Passover quite a bit on this show. Check out Episode 6, Episode 46 and Episode 67 if you have some free...
Ripped from the headlines! We discuss two recent news stories that have had some traction lately… First, a Muslim seventh grade student from Houston was singled out in his class and told that “we all think you’re a terrorist” when he laughed at a movie (Bend It Like Beckham) they had been watching. The...
Let’s talk about hair: each strand of it contains your DNA — which are the building blocks of you. Every little individual trait is encoded on that one little piece of hair. And that strand? It’s strong. It can hold up to 100 grams. Multiply that by the 100,000 strands on the average human...
… doesn’t necessarily stay on campus. This week’s episode goes back to college — as we discuss some issues which have been newsworthy lately but have also been longstanding issues since we were both in school.

There is far more to each of us than “Jewish, male podcast host” and “Muslim female podcast host.” Those around...
Hi everyone. It’s 11:21 pm EST and Faiqa and I just got off of Skype after recording an amazing and intense episode of “Hey! That’s My Hummus!” This one was a bit different than most: we didn’t talk about current events, holidays, cultural traditions or Justin Bieber. Instead, we talked about assumptions people...
“Capitulater, Alligator!” “Patronage denial, Crocodile!” This week’s show starts by talking about a specific boycott threat of Lands’ End — the company that makes quality catalog-ordered clothing and accessories. When they decided to place a featured interview with Ms. Magazine founder and feminist activist Gloria Steinem in their latest issue, they received backlash due to Steinem’s...
Hi everyone! We’re back after a short, 126-week break. Hopefully this isn’t a pattern — but if it is, we’ll look forward to recording again in October 2018. Today’s episode has us talking current events: Presidential candidate Donald Trump told an apocryphal wild story at a campaign stop in South Carolina about a U.S....
