Conflicted Icon

A podcast that combines first-hand experience with expert analysis, Conflicted breaks down the complexities of history, religion and politics of the Middle East and puts them in a global context. 

In Season 4 of the award-nominated Conflicted podcast, join Islamic scholar Thomas Small and ex-jihadi turned spy Aimen Dean as they explore the fascinating chains of events that have created the patchwork of the Muslim world today, and how the region’s history has impacted the story of the entire world.

Expect answers to questions like: What do Turkey’s 2023 election results mean for the future stability of the region? What role will the Middle East play in the new multipolar world? And is Islamist Terrorism still a thing in 2023?

We’ll be coming to you every week from June 28th - subscribe to Conflicted wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode.
