Description

We have a special episode for you today. We’re excited to share an episode from another podcast at American Public Media called This Is Uncomfortable. This is Uncomfortable, is a podcast from Marketplace about the unexpected ways money can shape our relationships, identities and the choices we make. In this episode, you’ll meet Kashy Keegan, an aspiring popstar who poured everything he had into making it big.  When his self-imposed deadline arrived and his dream hadn’t become reality, he hung up his mic for good. However, a few years later, an unexpected email from halfway around the world changed everything. If you’d like to hear more episodes from the host, Reema Khrais, and the team, you can find This is Uncomfortable wherever you get your podcasts.

We all want our friends to be happy ... but how far would you go to help? Tiny Huge Decisions follows two best friends, Mohsin and Dalia, as they make a possibly relationship altering choice – will she be the gestational surrogate for Mohsin and his husband? Mohsin grew up in a devout Muslim family where being gay was inconceivable. He couldn’t imagine living the life he dreamed of—to create his own family. He’s now met the love of his life, Matthew, and they want a child. When Mohsin’s best friend, Dalia, said she’d consider being a surrogate for them, he couldn’t believe it—she already has a child of her own and had serious complications with her pregnancy. Eavesdrop in on their conversations, their processing, and their choices, as they grapple with the real question: is this the worst idea in the world, or the greatest gift a friend can give?
