The Reasons Podcast

by Rilewa Razzaq

Welcome to The Reasons Podcast!! My name is Rilewa and I am on this crazy journey creative and academic expression and I want to share that with you all in the hope that you may be inspired to dive head first into your own! There are tons and tons of things and issues that we as individuals are interested in and passionate about and I love to learn about them, talk about them, and delve into the reasons behind them (hence the name hahah). I really look forward to the conversations I will inevitably have with you all as well as my guests too! The podcast utilises the personal experiences of its guests to give listeners an honest and authentic account of how to deal with certain problems and challenges, how to understand modern issues, and how the mainstream media often simplifies away many intricacies of certain experiences!If you ever want to talk about one of the topics in an episode or even want to suggest a topic or just talk about something totally unrelated, then feel free to se
