In this debut episode of the ZIQR podcast, we introduce the vision behind our platform: a space where news meets reflection. More than just headlines, ZIQR offers depth, clarity, and intention in how we tell stories. From global affairs to cultural moments and untold narratives, this is journalism with purpose.

Tune in as we set the foundation for what’s to come. Thoughtful coverage, honest dialogue, and a commitment to seeing the world not just as it is but as it could be.

Stay Informed. Stay Reflective.

In this second episode of the ZIQR Podcast, host Arman Dharani offers a deeper look into the purpose and principles that shape the platform. While Episode 1 served as a brief introduction, this conversation begins to define what ZIQR truly stands for. Inspired by the Arabic word Dhikr, meaning remembrance and reflection, Arman unpacks the significance of the name and the values that guide ZIQR’s editorial voice. Rather than follow trends or chase attention, ZIQR is built on clarity, depth, and meaningful context. This episode introduces the foundation of ZIQR’s commitment to intentional journalism and its vision for creating a more thoughtful media experience. Whether you are continuing from the debut or joining for the first time, this episode invites you to engage with news differently.

Stay Informed. Stay Reflective.
