What do the British and Kuwaiti's have in common? Turns out more than you think! Emma (British) and Shahad (Kuwaiti) met in Dubai in 2023, and despite growing up 4000 miles away in completely different cultures, they discovered they had a lot in common but also a lot of misconceptions about each other's way of life. Their conversations with each other about their ignorances inspired this podcast. Think You Know is an open space for people to not know, to ask, and to learn. Covering topics like modesty, dating, religion and more, grab a cuppa or a karak and spend the next hour with us, learning and growing your horizons... you think you know? This podcast will help you find out. You can follow the girls separately on their respective socials: @emmaflicc_ @khaleejette
