Al Daheeh
I love you, donkey
S10 • E54 Jun 24, 2025 26m
The episode revolves around the donkey, an animal whose name has been unfairly associated in people's minds with stupidity and stubbornness throughout the ages. In reality, it has been man's companion in agriculture, trade, and the building of civilizations. We explore its journey from a mere means of transportation to a political symbol in America, and its place in religions, myths, and popular literature, both Arabic and Western. We also examine what modern science has proven about its mental abilities and deconstruct the unjust stereotype that has dogged it.
