What happens when a self-help comedian and social media manager both have a passion for podcasting and come together to support a common cause?

A podcast is born!

If you haven’t subscribed to the podcast yet, here is what you have missed:

Building Bridges With Language Translation: Abdallah Shawky Talks Syrian Refugee Response” — B.C. (known as Carl on the program) and Mordant sit down with IRUSA Disaster Response Team member Abdallah Shawky to talk about his experience on the beaches of Greece, where he aided refugees first-hand.

• “Laura McAdams Talks Syrian Refugees, Education and Europe” — B.C. and Mordant sit down with IRUSA’s Laura McAdams, an international programs coordinator, to discuss field operations; i.e. your dollars hard at work.

• “Free Turkey to Americans in Need for the Holidays, A New Muslim Tradition in Ward 7” — B.C. reports live from Ward 7, Washington, D.C., where IRUSA and Third Pillar Charities work together to deliver turkey and all the fixings just in time for the holidays.
