In the late 2000s, halfway across the world from the premiere event in the pop culture scene—the San Diego Comic Con—a young man couldn’t understand why the Middle East didn’t have one of these mega events for the aficionados of comic books & pop culture. Pull up a chair & join our conversation with Arafaat Ali Khan, co-founder of the Middle East Film & Comic Con. Credits Hosted & produced by Chirag Desai. With support from Abhishek Venkatasubramanian, Sukayna Kazmi & Zainab Ujjaini. Original music composed by Reiner Erlings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
