Kicking off the third episode of The TWENTY30, co-hosts Lucien and Hanaa consult a magic 8 ball, the famous toy, on how the forthcoming show is going to turn out — receiving a funny answer with which you hopefully disagree (inshallah).

Then, Hanaa kicks off Episode 3’s DEEPDIVE segment, highlighting a recent interview from Mohammed Al-Jadaan, which produced a number of interesting comments on a range of topics including income tax and VAT in Saudi Arabia, the importance of open communication between government leaders and the public, and much more. The segment is part of an ongoing effort by The TWENTY30 to bring to light media items that made waves in the Arabic world but which may have been overlooked by Western media and the English-speaking world.

The hosts round out the show as always with a discussion of some interesting recent news items, including Ronaldo’s hot temper and flooding across Arabia including shocking images from Dubai, the IMF setting up shop in Saudi Arabia, and more.

Programming note: on Wednesday, Lucien and Hanaa will publish Episode 4 from a LIVE recording in studio from London, UK, discussing Vision 2030’s “report card” and much more!
