بودكاست قصصي، نوثّق فيه قصصنا العربيّة. في هذا الموسم، نبحث لغز اغتيال العالِمة السعودية «سامية ميمني» في أمريكا، ونكشف الغموض الذي يحيط بالقضية وتفاصيل تُعرض لأول مرة.
Gareth’s whole life has been defined by a relationship he had 35 years ago when, as a 14-year-old schoolboy, he fell in love with an attractive young teacher at his school. He spent most afternoons in her bedroom and thought he was the luckiest boy in the world. But when she walked out of his life everything started to unravel.
Lucky Boy is a four-part series in which Chloe Hadjimatheou asks who gets to be a perpetrator and a victim.
Gareth spent years believing he was a lucky boy. He was the 14-year-old who got the attention of the attractive young science teacher. Now, decades later, he wants the truth to come out about the damage it’s caused him. But his story is not straight forward.
Thank you for listening to Lucky Boy.

سكيتو بودكاست يعيد طرح الأسئلة التي نتجاهلها عادة — لماذا نفكّر كما نفكّر؟ كيف تغيّرنا الأحداث اليومية، أو تبرّر لنا قراراتنا؟ ما الذي تفعله المجتمعات بعلم النفس، وما الذي تفعله الأفكار بالمجتمعات؟في كل حلقة، يغوص سكيتو في عالم الكتب والفلسفة والسياسة والتاريخ — ليس لتلخيصها، بل لفهم كيف تغيّر النفوس وتشكّل السلوك الجماعي.لا يشترط أن تكون قارئًا نهمًا لتسمع سكيتو، بل أن تكون شخصًا يُفكّر. شخصًا يريد أن يعرف: لماذا نحن هكذا؟ وماذا تعني كل هذه الضجة من حولنا؟بأسلوب بسيط، ساخر أحيانًا، وعميق دائمًا — سكيتو هو مساحة للتأمل، وللتساؤل، وربما للشك، في كل ما قيل لنا من قبل.
An insight into the character of an influential figure making news headlines
The Slow Newscast from The Observer takes the news slowly. We investigate, and every week we focus on stories that really matter in the UK and around the world. From wars in Ukraine and Gaza through to true crime and injustice and real life mysteries, The Slow Newscast team is devoted to narrative investigations covering some of the biggest topics of the day.
Who are the people biohacking themselves in a quest for immortality? Or the man taking on an entire nation in the high seas to protect whales? And what happened when humanity's most distant messenger fell silent? From a newsroom with a different approach to journalism these are the stories we tell.
