My Ramadan

Each year, the month of Ramadan transforms the daily rhythms for millions, weaving together discipline, community, and deep personal reflection. The My Ramadan podcast from SBS moves beyond the surface to explore this profound time through intimate conversations. Host Sarah Malik guides these discussions, sitting down with a range of voices from academic Susan Carland to Masterchef's Amina El Shafei, as well as everyday Australian Muslims. Across five thoughtfully themed episodes, the series delves into the real-world challenges and quiet revelations of the season. Listeners will hear honest talk about maintaining professional life while fasting, the conscious choice to slow down in a world obsessed with hustle, and the search for a more meaningful connection to spirituality and self. The podcast naturally uncovers the textures of this experience, from the significance of favourite Iftar meals to the communal joy of Eid, painting a holistic portrait of a practice that is as much about internal growth as it is about tradition. This is a journey into the heart of a cultural and religious pillar, exploring how faith is lived and renewed in the modern world.
