The Side Room

By: Saf & Zoheb
Listen for free

The Side Room is hosted by Saf and Zoheb, two brown Muslim men from different parts of the UK: one from the city, one from the suburbs.


The name comes from the room you were sent to as a kid when the adults wanted to talk properly. Years later, those are still the conversations people avoid, or only have in private.


This podcast is about life in Britain, from faith and family to race, culture, marriage, masculinity, friendships, work, community, and the things that come with growing up between different worlds.

    Saf and Zoheb planned to introduce The Side Room podcast. What actually happened was football, family history, East London stories, growing up brown in the sticks, racism, school memories, getting jumped, and Zoheb explaining why he came home crying from a school that was not for him.


    A messy first episode, but in the right way. You get the hosts, the humour, the tangents and the point of the show: honest conversations from two brown Muslim men who rarely stay on topic, but usually end up saying something worth listening to.


    Also, yes - Thanos does enter the chat.
