The Radical Contemporary Podcast
Radical Contemporary is a Digital Curator and Podcast based between Cairo, Dubai & Jeddah for the sharing, discovery and appreciation of artistic and personal expression in the MENA region & beyond.
Radicals are people who notice things. We are observers. Artists. Writers. Designers. Musicians. Filmmakers. Intellectuals. Cultural Producers. Dreamers. Thought-leaders. We’re a community of Creators - who know that your biggest asset is your ability to ask questions, to critique & to converse with like-minded people. On Radical the conversation is always open … so hop on whenever you need a dose of creative genius & make sure to bring some coffee, tea, a snack? Whatever it is - the brain food is on us.
