Very much enjoyed the insight and differences of opinions. The one question I’d like answered is: what percent of Lebanese citizens want Hezbollah out of the country? They seem to be an extremely destabilizing group and the key to “peace” with Israel.

I just listened to Charles Hayek, a great patriot who is telling the ancient facts and history about Beirut neighborhoods and it’s development through the last 3000 years. The host Rony is also very engaging, respectful, and inclusive! Highly recommended podcast.

Great podcast! Keep it up. Speaks to us as we just left Lebanon and struggled significantly with the decision.

thank you

Something Lebanon (and the region) is missing - sober and unbiased discussions about politics, culture and society. Past and present. Old and new. Spoken by a diverse group of very interesting people. Ronnie and The Beirut Banyan team have done a wonderful job highlighting issues we sometimes forget about in Lebanese society. Highly recommended podcast!

A great way to learn more about Beirut’s history. Easy to follow, and the episodes link so well together. Thanks, Ronnie!

In an arena that features an abundance of view points from outsiders, Ronnie provides an open forum for local perspectives on Lebanon’s travails.

Ronnie has managed to produce episodes of consistently high quality, providing a platform for inspirational people to voice their experiences and opinions. A must for anyone who appreciates hearing exceptional people discuss their career paths and share the wisdom that they have gathered along the way. This is of particular interest to anyone curious about Lebanon and its growth as it deals with the war and forges onwards. Ronnie is an engaging host and the guests are passionate about what they do.
