The Venn Dialogues
Join Christine & Jacoby, weekly, as they discuss a wide-range of topics they find interesting. The pair will give their perspective on the topic of the week and then look at the research, facts and literature associated with the topic to see if it expands the conversation. These topics will create a dialogue that encourages our listeners to learn more about the world and ourselves. Listen weekly to find out how you can add to the conversation. Follow us at Venn.Dialogues on Instagram and at VennDialoguePod on X (formerly known as twitter).
The Venn Dialogues
From Dusk to Dawn
Ramadan Kareem! Ramadan Mubarak!
These are traditional greetings for Ramadan which translate to “generous Ramadan” & “blessed Ramadan” respectively.
Today we talk Ramadan and a bit of fasting. Come for the knowledge, stay for the laughs!
Join us in the “Two in The Think” Segment where we explore our thoughts on fasting, the difference between Islam & Muslim and our general knowledge of Ramadan.
In the “What's Facts Got to Do With It? Segment” we explore the meaning and background of Ramadan and Jacoby's preparation going into observing Ramadan in solidarity with the Muslim community this year.
