If They Gossip With You, They’ll GOSSIP ...

Zainab Al Yakoob
About this episode

We’re back with Tareq for our final Ramadan episode, and we’re diving deep into gossip—because let’s be real, we all do it. Is venting just gossip with better PR? Do men actually gossip more than women? And where’s the line between harmless chitchat and straight-up character assassination? We break down the psychology behind why we spill the tea, the role of gossip in friendships and culture, and what to do when someone asks for “innocent” intel about a potential spouse. Plus, we reflect on how Ramadan had us rethinking our words (or at least trying to).

All this and more in this week’s episode!
