In this week’s episode we discuss topics within the Arts and Entertainment theme. For our roundtable discussion, we talk about the Super bowl, Kesha’s performance at the Grammy’s, and Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy. 

Following Kesha’s lawsuit against producer Dr. Luke, she performed her newest single “Praying” at the 2018 Grammys.  She was accompanied on stage by fellow female artists, all dressed in white, to support their stance against gender and sexual harassment. Kesha’s performance was a dedication to her support of the #MeToo movement.

The Super Bowl is one of the most highly anticipated sports event in the world. Despite it being located and involving only one country in the world (USA) but it still has a huge impression on sports world wide. It is an annual event where the best two american football teams in the nation play against each other to determine who is the best all over team this season. Also event though that the latest installment of the event happened 4 days ago, yet still trending on social media till this very moment.

For the interview segment, we were joined by Dr. Noha Al Nahas, senior counselor at the student wellbeing office at AUC and psychology professor . We talked about her counseling center known as Heal. Heal aims to provide psychological services to people. We asked her about sexual harassment and how it affects its victims. Dr. Nahas had a lot to say on the matter. Not only did we talk about women, but also men and children that have been victims of sexual harassment. We also discussed the #MeToo movement and Dr. Nahas believes there should be more laws and a better level of education in Egypt to prevent such an act.

For the “Another View” segment, our host Farah Enein interviewed Dana AlShamekh, an AlFaisal University student from Saudi Arabia to talk about Saudi Arabia’s new law regarding women driving. Towards the end of 2017, King Salman had requested that driver’s license would be issued to women. During our interview, we talked to Dana to get a better understanding of how young women/women are responding to such a change.

QLess Payment.

Some people might have more opportunities than others. Being an AUC student or graduate has its perks starting from connections with professors that could help guide students in their startups, friends that help spread word about the project/startup and share it with the student body and the student body shares it with their other friends and so on, lastly the AUC Venture Lab which is an incubator that helps new startups by providing services like management training.



This audio documentary was produced by Farah Enein for the audio Production Course at The American University in Cairo, taught by Professor Kim Fox in the Spring semester of 2018.
