We know that after all these years of talking about how we need Muslim Christmas themed movies that you were begging for us to write our own. Well, there were maybe three of you that tweeted at us that we should. So lucky listeners, we responded to you (at least the three of you).
On this very special episode, Zahra and Taz wrote two fiction Muslim Christmas Rom Com audio narratives! Not only did we write and direct these stories, we were so lucky to cast our friends who were able to bring these characters to life!
