In this episode, we sit down with author Adam Al-Sirgany to talk about his new book "More Hell". We dive into what it takes to get your book published, why more Arab Americans need to tell their stories, and what it’s like being Arab American in small-town America. Plus, Adam shares the surprising things Arabs and rural Americans have in common.

We reflect on how it’s been hard to move through everyday life with Gaza on our minds and in our hearts. And then somehow, we end up talking about feet pic side hustles, trying to lose weight after 40, and other random tangents.
