Recently I was interviewed to be on the fairly new podcast called The Mad Mamluks. It was a really fun time being asked a lot of food related questions by the three talented and animated brothers who started it and produce it: Amir Saeed, a scholar of Shariah from Al-Azhar University; Syed Imran Muneer (aka: SIM), an IT Professional; and Mohammed Sharif (aka: Moga), a Mathematician, all of whom are from Chicago. You can read more about The Mad Mamluks and listen to all of their podcasts here:

It was a lively discussion about how I started My Halal Kitchen and where all the passion and interest in food came from- I hope you enjoy the conversation!
These guys are really interested in getting the voices of the Muslim community out to the world, so make sure you keep up with them on social media so you can readily find out about the next podcasts they publish:
Recently I was interviewed for a podcast by Walid Darab of Greed for Ilm to speak with him about how I started this blog and why. It turned into a conversation that took me down the very long path of my own personal memory lane and then jogged my spirit to talk about gardening, what I think of GMOs and what I think the Muslim community needs to be thinking about in terms of the current situation of food- real food, halal food, GMO food/non-GMO food, etc. etc. It was really interesting- I even listened to it again and realized that he really let me talk for a very long time…
Walid publishes a lot of interesting topics like this one about the state of the food industry with John Robbins (yes, of the Baskin Robbins family), author of No Happy Cows, so be sure to check out his Facebook paget and Twitter account (@greedforilm) to see all those interesting podcasts in your daily twitter feed.
Thanks, Walid- it was a really great conversation!
