Dear listeners, In today's show, we will deal with a topic that has a high emotional value for many of us. So we must warn you. It would be a good idea to have a lot of tissues with you. Because no matter what you have, you will cry. One from emotion and the other from laughter. Our topic for today is Friends, or otherwise known as Friends. Friends is an American sitcom-type television series in which we meet 6 people who. Anyway, I imagine that you all know the plot of the series. So let's go to details that you know very little about. Sorry, but I have never heard of the series. So could you explain to me what it is about? What did you say? You haven't seen the series. Very funny, but I'm serious. I hope you don't mean it, because that means that we are being assigned a huge role, which is to teach you a series that you will love through its characters and stories. And believe me, once you watch a couple of episodes, you will understand that the series Friends It will be one of the most beautiful parts of your life. Anyway, we've chatted enough. So let's go see the story of the series. The friends are presented. The lives of six people who form a close-knit group. Our heroes are Rachel, who lives with Monica. Ross, Monica's brother. Chandler and Joey, who live across the street from Rachel and Monica. More. And what is it that you like about this series that makes you love it so much? What I like the most is the fact that through these adventures, our heroes seem to mature more and more. While they pass us by significantly. More. And what is it that you like about this series that teases you about problems that we face every day. In the most comical way possible. Also, each character is different and has their own gifts. For example, Monica is the perfectionist of the group who wants everything her way. While The comic way is also different. Mrs. Rachel is a buttercup who has learned to live without rules. Chandler is the person who makes the most sarcastic jokes at the right times. Joey is prone to the female gender. Ross is a divorcee. And Phoebe is a woman who hides a dark past at the right times. But despite their differences, they manage to coexist. Me and you and you together. Me and you together. Your suffering is mine too. My heart beats for both of us. Two friends with one soul. Me and me and you together. You and you together. Me and you together. Me and you together. Thank you.

It was really interesting – Melissa reported on a series of 22 short films produced by Gazan filmmakers.As Melissa noted: “The films aim to share the voices of people living through the conflict in Gaza, offering a glimpse into their fears, dreams, and hopes.”Entitled From Ground Zero, the 112-minute collection is presented as a feature film in two parts and has been selected to represent Palestine at the Oscars in March 2025.The project was made possible by the Masharawi Fund for Gaza Filmmakers, created in 2023 by Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi.You were to listen to Melissa's 15 December International Report podcast – “Gaza's powerful war narratives make their way to the Oscars” - and answer me this: What are the names of three of Masharawi's films, and in which years were they produced? The answer is, to quote Melissa: “Masharawi, who is from Gaza, is one of the first Palestinian filmmakers to have directed cinema projects in the occupied Palestinian territories.His first film, Travel Document, was released in 1986, followed by The Shelter in 1989 and Long Days in Gaza in 1991.”In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: What would your fantasy road trip be like?Do you have a bonus question idea?
