Show Notes
<p>Known as the "Jon Stewart of Egypt," Bassem Youssef hosted a satirical news show that was the first of its kind in the Middle East. The show was immensely popular, until the military-backed government forced Youssef off the air and out of the country. Youssef and director Sara Taksler tell us about their documentary <em>Tickling Giants</em>, which profiles Youssef’s leap from heart surgeon to super star satirist. </p>
