The Guide for the Perplexed
Named after the medieval philosopher who wrote The Guide for the Perplexed in Arabic while navigating exile and collapsing states. Maimonides is Core Group's long-form video podcast. Sustained dialogue with one interlocutor at a time, ranging across the questions that the written tracks cannot ask in the same way.
60–90 minute long-form video conversation. Arabic and English. The interlocutors come from across the region and across domains: political theorists, historians, practitioners, scientists, religious thinkers, statesmen, dissidents. The intent is to host voices that the standard Middle East circuits do not already saturate. The firm hosts; the conversation is the interlocutor's.
