For six years, we’ve given the region’s voices a stage of their own.

Came across this podcast coincidentally and was pleasantly surprised. Malak asks the right questions and brings on inspiring guests. Would love if the episode was longer but all in all, a great show! Thank you for surfacing motivational voices in the region doing incredible things!

I am new to this podcast. I looked for a podcast with Tim Marshall as I am currently really enjoying one of his books.

The interview drew out Tim’s humour and was a really interesting conversation which really gave me a sense of the man, his personal journey into journalism and what he is interested in.

Brilliant!

This has been a long time coming but it took that long for me to realise how much a space ‘What I Did Next’ has filled in the literary and journalistic scene. I loved it at first listen and it went to the top of my favourite list of what to listen to next.
Malak Fouad has very successfully put together a programme that is a bit Desert Island Discs, a bit The Penguin Podcast, a bit history, social culture, business…within an Egyptian and Middle Eastern context that is close to one’s heart. And with a very personal twist…every episode.

I listened to all the episodes in one go. What a great podcast. Congratulations Malak. Can’t wait for the next episode.

Huge fan from Australia since discovering this podcast just a day ago. Have been binge listening since.

Can’t recommend this enough. Gives me faith and hope in the future of Egypt, my country which I love but chose to leave in 2014. Can’t wait for more episodes.

Malak Fouad delivers an inspirational and entertaining range of talks that dig deeper behind the headlines and the amazing people who shape them. Finally, the topics you need and want with real relevance to the region.

I don’t miss a single episode and always look forward to the next one. The guests are such interesting and inspiring people with fascinating stories, and Malak is such an engaging host! Highly recommend this podcast to everyone.

An excellent podcast that sheds light on some of the most inspiring people of the Middle East, one of whom is the host, Malak Foad. They are role models, learners, passionate people who through their life stories share their most challenging moments, pivot points, successes, and wisdom.

“What I did next!” sheds light on some of the great minds behind economic growth in Egypt. If you want to learn very quickly what’s happening in Egypt now, what are some movers and shakers thinking, doing, and planning, then this is the podcast for you!

What better way to learn and get inspired, than to take a peek into someone’s personal journey? What I Did Next gives us a seat at the table with people who have listened to their hearts and followed their passions, these are some good stories! Malak is a gracious interviewer, and each episode makes you feel like you just sat in on a really interesting conversation. You will walk away with a new book to read, maybe film to watch, and always something to think about. Highly recommend it! 🌟

I really enjoyed the episodes this season. The guests were extremely interesting in their diverse endeavors and offered forward thinking ideas and inspirations - it definitely stroke a thought process
