Popular Reviews of Miriam and Youssef

This story follows two characters - a Jewish immigrant to Palestine and an Arab inhabitant - from 1917 to 1948. Each episode is set at a turning point in history. It shows the struggles of Jews and Arabs as conflict arises and escalates between the two sides and the role the British play in the conflict, putting blame for the violence on the British as the Arabs and Jews. The two main characters' opinions and responses to the other side change as they experience personal loss as a result of the conflict. The story balances both sides, portraying their sympathetic points and the atrocities they commit. While both characters become involved in extremism, neither is a zealot.

One of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. Great story arc blending storytelling and historical background without taking sides.
