"This is a beautifully sound designed and melancholy profile of Zabelle Panosian. Kerning Cultures showcases some terrific documentary work about the Middle East and North Africa — this is one outstanding episode among many."

"Too often, depictions of the Middle East feature generalizations with sensational stories and stereotypical characters. For this reason, the podcast Kerning Cultures is on a mission to tell compelling, yet unexplored stories from across the region. In this time of divisive news and lurid headlines, Kerning Cultures provides a valuable look into one of the most misunderstood parts of the world."

"The best way I can put it is that this is a This American Life for the Middle East. It’s that good. The episodes are beautifully woven together, exploring the different aspects of Middle Eastern culture and the individuals that live there. Simply put, for those of us in the west who are only shown the negative side of this enormous landmass, this is a refreshing take on the region."
