I hope you and your families are in good health and faith, in sha Allah. I have been quiet on here in the last couple of months. This wasn’t planned, but there were some logistic challenges and somehow running a podcast seems to be becoming more, not less, demanding as it progresses! Perhaps this is a reflection of my own higher aspirations and expectations for it and from involving more very welcome voices onto the podcast. 

I’m taking an intentional break from recording for a couple of months now. Part of the reason is because this podcast has totally consumed my reading life and it has been quite a long time since I have just chosen a book to read at random without worrying about what I’m going to discuss on the next episode, so I’m looking forward to having some time to do that, in sha Allah (and maybe write a couple of reviews)! The other part of the reason is because I want to take some time to think about whether I can/want to continue to run the podcast as it is and, if not, what changes I can implement to make it more sustainable. I’m also considering the possibility of bringing it to an end, which is a saddening thought, though not likely at the moment but possible; let’s see, in sha Allah.

On this note, I’d like to ask you for a few minutes of your time to help me with my decision-making process by telling me what you think of the podcast in the form below (make sure you click “Submit” at the end). Even if you don’t have a lot of ideas, I’d appreciate any comments you have. It’s anonymous and you don’t have to answer all the questions.

Thank you for your support and see you in the blog comments section, in sha Allah!
