Since the Saudi-Canada crisis, there is a spike in listenership of the @ArabTyrantMan'ual podcast, especially our Saudi Arabia episodes. The top cities are: Toronto, Riyadh, and Seattle. 
@ArabTyrantMan All-time, our top cities are Riyadh, Jeddah, and London. Despite being an English-language podcast, our top cities are Arab cities - and in Saudi Arabia, no less.
@ArabTyrantMan Our first episode was about Saudi reforms, an hour-long conversation. You can skip the intro straight to 3:40 where it starts. soundcloud.com/arabtyrantmanu…
@ArabTyrantMan Our second episode continued the topic, but also touched on regional politics esp Saudi-Iranian rivalry. 46 minutes. This episodes starts with a dig at Thomas Friedman, lol. soundcloud.com/arabtyrantmanu…
@ArabTyrantMan Our seventh episode wasn't about Saudi Arabia per se, but it explored the Saudi-UAE alliance with a special focus on the UAE. soundcloud.com/arabtyrantmanu…
@ArabTyrantMan Our eighth episode was an alert about MBS's crackdown on Saudi Arabia's women's rights movement back in May, explaining why and why now. 21 minutes. soundcloud.com/arabtyrantmanu…
@ArabTyrantMan In June, I wrote an op-ed for the @washingtonpost about how MBS has become a threat to his own reform agenda, find it here: washingtonpost.com/news/democracy…
@ArabTyrantMan @washingtonpost And today, I have a piece out (co-written with @AmarAmarasingam) on why the latest Saudi-created crisis with Canada is more about MBS's crackdown on Saudi human rights activists cbc.ca/news/opinion/c…
@ArabTyrantMan @washingtonpost @AmarAmarasingam A word about the @ArabTyrantMan'ual podcast - we're still learning and we're still improving. Please don't hesitate to get in touch and tell us what you like or dislike, be it in terms of content or technical stuff.
@ArabTyrantMan @washingtonpost @AmarAmarasingam If you want to learn more about how the Saudi and UAE regimes tried to corrupt US politics, here's a long thread (more has been revealed since) twitter.com/iyad_elbaghdad…
@ArabTyrantMan @washingtonpost @AmarAmarasingam And here's a link to a thread from May about the arrests with which MBS started this crisis, when he targeted Saudi Arabia's most vocal women's rights activists and accused them of treason.
More recently, this thread got a lot of attention - it exposes the ludicrous and aggressive Saudi propaganda against Canada since MBS created the current crisis.
If you read Norwegian, this is a piece I wrote for Norway's @Aftenposten in May, about MBS's assault on Saudi feminism. aftenposten.no/meninger/kroni…
And the cherry on top of this thread is this Saudi troll calling me a "traitor" and an "agent of the West" and asking me to come so he can "stamp on my face". Have a nice evening guys, and retweet the thread.
The Saudi regime spends billions to control its image and to suppress content and analysis critical of it. Wanna do something about it? Retweet this kinda material, on my TL or others.
Looks like that troll deleted the tweet, so here's a screenshot.
