In the Great Khan’s Tent hosted by Saif Beg is a bi-weekly comprehensive episodic narrative Podcast focusing on the History, Literature, and Folk Literature from the regions of the Middle East and North Africa, Central Asia including Mongolia and the Russian Far East, and South Asia. Through engaging storytelling, I explore the cultural tapestry of these areas with tales, legends, and insights that span centuries. Whether you’re fascinated by historical fiction, literary gems, or the wisdom passed down through generation, my podcast offers a delightful journey into the heart of these diverse regions. In our ongoing series of ”In the Great Khan’s Tent” I will be narrating “The Thousand and One Nights” or commonly referred to as the “Arabian Nights”. Interspersed within this series will be our focus on the history of the above mentioned regions, interviews, and discussions on many facets that I am sure our listeners would enjoy.
