Waarom een podcastserie? Omdat er veel leuke podcasts in en over het (grote) Midden-Oosten worden gemaakt, maar niet in het Nederlands. En wij vinden het belangrijk dat er ook in het Nederlands een ruim aanbod van kennis en informatie beschikbaar is over deze regio. Bovendien wordt de moderne mens overspoeld met 'leesvoer' en is luisteren vaak wel zo fijn. Daarom dus een podcastserie.Titel van de podcastserie is: Het Dakterras. In het Midden-Oosten wordt op het dakterras gegeten, gedronken, gediscussieerd, gelachen, gedanst, gezongen en muziek gemaakt. Kortom, op het dakterras gebeurt het!MORE Category Culture, Society, Knowledge
