Episode 183 - Community Chat with Tanvir Ahmed
14/11/2025
1:00:19
This week, Jenna, Nick, Shingai and Sameem interview Tanvir Ahmed! Please see the addendum below from Tanvir. Addendum from Tanvir Ahmed: This conversation was recorded in September 2025, and in it, I mentioned that Afghanistan was not presently being bombed. Between then and now, Pakistan bombed Afghanistan and killed dozens from the air, including journalists, cricket players, and children. Pakistan's escalation plans have been broadcast for some time now, as reported in February 2025. The article under discussion in Strange Horizons was about the way Muslims are racialized into monsters, with specific reference to Afghans. That same process is still at work in the ongoing ethnic cleansings of Afghans in Pakistan and Iran.

This week, the crew meets up at Woldcon for an in-person podcast! It’s hard to recap the awesomeness of all these folks together in one hotel room in a few sentences, so enjoy the conversation and follow the links below. –Editor’s Note: This episode sounds great (thanks to Writing Excuses for letting us use their equipment), but is mostly left as it was recorded. Please excuse any audio issues, coughing, mic bumping etc. Leaving this intact to capture the time together was important to me. I appreciate your understanding. -Marshall Links mentioned during the show: Maurice Broaddus Victor Manibo RJ Taylor Nikki Braziel –Autonomy of a Murder –Nikki’s Substack Erin Roberts –Writing Excuses –1000 Hells Jenna Hanchey Sameem Siddiqui –Twitter –Website Gabriel F.
