The amazing boys from Towers (from left to right: Changez Basir, Bilal Baloch, Ashir Bhatti) came came and demanded three turtles for this podcast, which was inconvenient. But they also let me hear their new single, 'Filhaal', which is an ABSOLUTE BANGER, and that made it all worth it. Apologies in advance for any audio issues. This is the first po…

We sat down to talk with Jamal Rahman, founder of True Brew Records in Lahore, who is now pivoting to a career in filmmaking.

We spoke to Adeel Afzal, a filmmaker and journalist, about masculinity in Pakistan, and whether modern men are going through a crisis of identity.
