Hey, Dissectors, I'd like to introduce you to a new show called Without,

a Hosted by Omar Alakad. Omar is a journalist and international best-selling author. He's

taking a look at all sorts of things that make up life, many of which will he take for granted.

In each episode, Omar examines the consequences of losing something we've become accustomed to.

He speaks with experts and people living through loss, things like coffee, antibiotics,

on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
