• Palestine bleeds for you. Why it changes everything? 17.06.2026 58min

  We are told that the conflict in Palestine is "complicated," a series of religious debates and territorial claims. But for Ramsey Hanhan, the reality is far more direct: it is a system engineered to make an entire people feel disposable, and forgettableIn this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Ramsey Hanhan, a former physics professor who walked away from the ivory tower of science to become a witness. Written from the front lines of Ramallah, Ramsey’s work serves as an archive for a people whose future is being systemically obstructed by military checkpoints, digital algorithms, and the weaponization of faith.Together, they dismantle the fiction that the conflict began on October 7th, exploring instead the long continuity of the Nakba and the "poison pill" questions used by media to silence the Palestinian voice. This is a conversation about the moral necessity of speaking out and the endurance required to insist on life, history, and the right to remain human in a world organized around selective empathy.Because in a broken system, neutrality always belongs to those least affected by injustice. It’s time to find our voices.🎙 “Witnessing creates responsibility... the people who are silent, who are looking away, are hurting themselves more than they know.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaarHost: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Ramsey Hanhan (Author & Public Speaker) Editor: Liam Gadsby.

• Why small businesses matter? The migrant business myth. 10.06.2026 1t 13min

  We are often told that the backbone of the British economy is its small businesses, yet we systematically ignore the one-fifth of those firms owned by migrants. We label them as "unconventional" or treat them as economic "peccadillos," failing to see the sophisticated networks of care and innovation that keep our neighborhoods alive.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Prof. Monder Ram, Founder-Director of CREME at Aston University. Drawing on over 30 years of research and his own lived experience in a family business in Wolverhampton, Monder dismantles the "migrant business myth."Together, they discuss the power of "mixed embeddedness," the strategic value of informal management, and why the "everyday economy" of our high streets is often far more resilient than the polished models of Silicon Valley. This is a conversation about respecting the lived reality of builders who don't just build for profit, but for dignity, identity, and the communities they serve.🎙 “Entrepreneurship isn't just about high-growth startups; it’s about people building stability for their families and a foothold in an economy that didn’t always make space for them.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Prof. Monder Ram, (Founder-Director of CREME at Aston University).

• Why People Have Stopped Trusting Politics? The Story that Broke Britain 27.05.2026 1t 37min

  Episode 27: Why people have stopped trusting politics? The story that broke Britain.We treat politics as a rational exercise, a matter of choosing between competing policy lists and economic models. But while the "leadership elite" reads from autoprompters, millions of people are living in a "fog of despair," feeling the weight of a system that has fundamentally abandoned them.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Jeremy Clancy, a filmmaker and narrative strategist whose work has been at the center of Britain's most viral political movements. Jeremy shares his journey from the deindustrialized ruins of Bolsover to the inner circles of political campaigning, offering a raw look at why the standard "startup fairy tales" of progress have left a bitter taste in the mouths of the majority.Together, they discuss the importance of "emotional resonance," the systematic erasure of working-class identity, and why the most radical act for a storyteller today is to stop manipulating and start listening. This is a conversation about making hope normal again—not through empty slogans, but by providing a mirror for people to see themselves and their power once more.Because before a system collapses, the story we tell about how the world works usually fractures first. It’s time to tell a better story.🎙 “We are the clay and the world is the kiln. It takes a long time to recognize how you've been baked by your experiences.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Jeremy Clancy, (Narrative Strategist, Writer & Filmmaker).Editor: Liam Gadsby.

• Refugees are not a burden. Broken systems are. 14.05.2026 1t

  We treat integration as a policy problem to be solved with checklists and funding lines. But for the 82,000 people currently waiting for asylum decisions in the UK, integration isn't a government program, it’s a daily struggle for survival and dignity.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Severine Kipili, the founder of Bora Shabaa. Severine shares her profound journey from fleeing war and spending seven years in a Zambian refugee camp to becoming a pillar of support in her UK community. She challenges the narrative that refugees are a "burden," reframing them instead as highly skilled individuals, teachers, doctors, and innovators, who are often silenced by the systems meant to protect them.Together, they discuss the power of informal community spaces, the "healing" found in sewing circles and ESOL classes, and why the most vital part of rebuilding a life isn't just finding a house, it's finding a place to belong.This is a conversation about the bravery required to start over and the collective strength found when we choose solidarity over statistics. Because in a broken system, the most radical act is refusing to let a neighbor rebuild their life alone🎙 “Dignity means beyond charity. We don’t just provide services; we empower people to lead, volunteer, and contribute.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Severine Kipili, (Founder of Bora Shabaa).

• Some People Measured. Others Are Filtered 29.04.2026 1t 2min

  Episode 25: Some people are measured, others are filtered!Description: We treat the global digital economy as a level playing field, yet geography still dictates who is allowed to participate. What happens when world-class talent is trapped behind concrete walls and arbitrary blockades?In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Kathrine Tinggaard Nicolaisen, the founder of Olives & Heather, a Palestinian marketing agency connecting local talent to global impact businesses. Kathrine challenges the standard "charity" narrative, arguing that Palestinians don't need more pity-based training—they need the same access to clients and trust as any other founder in the West.Together, they discuss the reality of leading a team where personal lives are defined by war and checkpoints, why professional rigor is a vital form of resistance, and how digital work has become the ultimate bridge into a world that often tries to filter Palestinians out.This is a conversation about work as dignity and building infrastructure that refuses to accept exclusion as inevitable. Because in a broken bazaar, some people are indeed measured, while others are simply filtered out—it’s time to change who gets to do the measuring.🎙 “Solidarity opens doors, but it doesn't close deals. At the end of the day, work must be measured by excellence, not just sympathy.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Kathrine Tinggaard Nicolaisen (Founder, Olives & Heather) Editor: Liam Gadsby.

• Gaza Bridge: The Logic of Survival! 22.04.2026 1t 2min

  What does it mean to be a "winner" in a situation where you have lost everything? For Mohammad Helles, it means turning systemic frustration into a roadmap for community survival.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Mohammad Helles, a software engineer in Gaza who transitioned from construction labor to global tech with nothing but a basic laptop and an iron will. Mohammad exposes the harsh reality of the digital economy in Gaza—a place where payment gateways like PayPal are blocked, and remote workers are forced to pay exorbitant fees just to access their own salaries.Together, they discuss Mohammad’s latest venture, Gaza Bridge, a platform designed to provide a dignified, direct link between global support and the families in Gaza who remain unreachable by traditional aid. This is not just a story about surviving a war; it is a conversation about the bravery required to build a new infrastructure of hope when the old one is in ruins. 🎙 “If I just drop my dreams, no one will come and achieve them for me. I have to keep trying until I make an impact.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman.

• We have built a system that hides truth 15.04.2026 1t 32min

  Episode 23: We have built a system that hides truth!Description: We are surrounded by more information than any society in history, yet we have never felt further from the truth. Complex global events are stripped of context, corporate influence is hidden in plain sight, and trust in traditional institutions has evaporated.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Connor (Riverwand), a digital educator and investigative storyteller who is reclaiming the art of deep-dive research for the social media age. Connor dismantles the "myth of neutrality" in technology, exploring how Big Tech and state power have fused to create a system of techno-nationalism.Together, they discuss the power of "slow storytelling," the "Donation a Day" initiative for global mutual aid, and why digital literacy is now a vital form of civic self-defense. This is a conversation about moving from being a passive consumer of information to an active builder of understanding. Because in a world of 10-second clips, the most radical act is to stay in the conversation until you see the structure behind it.🎙 “Before a system collapses, something else usually fractures first: the story we tell about how the world works.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Riverwand (Systems Storyteller & Digital Activist) Editor:Liam Gadsby Research and Impact Officers: Mohammad Alauthman & Sanskriti Sharma.
• Culture is Infrastructure Not A Checkbox 01.04.2026 1t 12min

  Episode 22: Culture is Infrastructure, Not a Checkbox!Description: We treat Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a compliance exercise—a set of optics to be managed in annual reports and strategy decks. But while the language of inclusion has become familiar, trust in our institutions is at an all-time low.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Sunaina Kohli, a Global Inclusion Strategist who has lived and worked across six countries and four continents. Sunaina challenges the standard DEI narrative, reframing culture not as a benefit, but as the essential infrastructure of any sustainable organization.Together, they discuss the Zulu philosophy of Ubuntu ("I am because you are"), the reality of the "trap door" for women in leadership, and Sunaina's unique "Professional Auntie" approach to radical truth-telling. This is an invitation to move beyond checkboxes and toward a leadership style grounded in humanity, safety, and the courage to unlearn the narratives of power.🎙 “Organizations don’t have a diversity problem; they have a leadership and cultural problem.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Sunaina Kohli (a Global Inclusion Strategist) Editor: Liam Gadsby Research and Impact Officers: Mohammad Alauthman and Sanskriti Sharma
• War Broke the Country. Not the People. 18.03.2026 50min

  When war collapses a country, the systems fail, but the people remain. What happens when a high-level business leader is forced to become a "refugee," trading a boardroom for a production line in a salad factory?In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman sits down with Hanna Morozova, an Ecosystem Builder & Entrepreneur who is redefining what it means to rebuild after a catastrophe. From her background building Ukraine’s national garlic cooperative to her current work supporting over 600 refugee entrepreneurs and 120 veterans, Hanna shares the raw, human reality of displacement.Together, they discuss the psychological power of building a business to regain agency, the shift from competition to collaboration within displaced communities, and why the world needs to stop seeing refugees as victims and start seeing them as vital economic contributors.This is a conversation about the bravery it takes to start from zero—and the resilience that ensures you never really have to.🎙 “Entrepreneurship isn't just making money, it's about having control again.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Hanna Morozova (Ecosystem Builder & Entrepreneur ) Editors: Liam Gadsby Research and Impact Officer: Mohammad AlauthmanKeywords Ukrainian resilience refugee entrepreneurship veteran SMEs ecosystem building agency and identity economic assets collaboration over competition builders of the broken bazaar Dr Tabish Zaman
• Ep 20: The Problem Isn't Chaos. It's Normalised Chaos 04.03.2026 1t 4min

  The world hasn't simply become more unstable; it has become normalized in its instability. We are told that global crises are being "managed" through summits, panels, and statements, yet 5 billion people have become poorer while displacement reaches record heights.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Dominic Morgan, the voice behind "The Human Promise." Together, they sit with a question most institutions avoid: What does responsibility look like when the harm is systemic and power is unequal?Dominic dismantles the idea that geopolitics is too "complicated" for the average person to understand, reframing the crisis as a moral misalignment. He introduces a simple but radical five-point commitment designed to act as a mirror and a compass for humanity.This is not a conversation about fixing the world through external power, but about moral alignment as the first step toward cultural change. It is an invitation to stay in the present longer than the system requires and to refuse to let responsibility dissolve into procedure.🎙 “Outrage spreads faster than understanding... and opinion is loud, but responsibility is really quiet.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar Host: Dr. Tabish Zaman Guest: Dominic Morgan (co-founder of the Authentic Leaders initiative) Editors: Liam Gadsby Research and Impact Officer: Mohammad Alauthman
• Ep 19: Mental Health is Infrastructure, Not Self-Care! 18.02.2026 1t 18min

  We are constantly told that mental health is an individual responsibility. That "self-care" is the solution. That if we just "optimize" our routines or download the right app, the pain will subside.But what if the real problem isn't a lack of clinical tools, but a resistance to help that doesn't sound like anything people recognize in their everyday lives?In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by Arianna Alexander-Sefre, founder and co-CEO of Spoke, to challenge the idea that mental health is merely an individual failing. Instead, they reframe it as a global systemic social issue that requires culture as infrastructure.Together, they explore the "silence" of young men, the capitalization of ancient healing practices into the "wellness industry," and Arianna’s journey in building a platform that integrates clinical psychology with music to reach underserved populations.This episode challenges the idea that clinical therapy is the only gateway to healing. Because care shouldn't require people to be coached or persuaded to access it. It should meet them where they already are.🎙 “Sound is always there... it meets people without asking them to explain first.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaarHost: Dr. Tabish Zaman.

• Ep18: This AI is Built for Liberation: Not Just for Profit 04.02.2026 1t 4min

  Episode 18: This AI Is Built for Liberation, Not Just for ProfitWe are constantly told that artificial intelligence is neutral.That data is objective.That algorithms simply optimise.That harm is an unfortunate side effect of progress.But what if the real question isn’t what AI can do but who it is built to serve?In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman is joined by Said and Hani Chihabi, brothers and founders of Thaura AI, to explore what it means to build technology from the margins rather than for the market alone.This is not a conversation about AI hype or technical superiority.It is not about disruption for disruption’s sake.It is a conversation about power, dignity, and liberation.Drawing on their lived experiences and their work developing Thaura AI, Said and Hani reflect on what it means to build artificial intelligence that resists surveillance, extraction, and domination and instead centres justice, context, and human consequence.Together, they discuss:• Why most AI systems reproduce existing power structures rather than challenge them• How surveillance technologies disproportionately harm already marginalised communities• Why “ethical AI” often fails when it avoids politics and power• What it means to design AI from places shaped by conflict, occupation, and exclusion• How language, culture, and history are erased in dominant AI models• Why liberation must be a design principle, not a marketing claim• How entrepreneurship can be a tool for resistance, not just valuation• What responsibility looks like when technology operates at scale🎙 “Technology is never neutral, it always reflects who had the power to build it.”This episode challenges founders, technologists, investors, and policymakers to reconsider what responsibility really means in the age of artificial intelligence.Because when AI is built without accountability, it doesn’t just optimise systems it decides who is seen, who is protected, and who is erased.And if AI is shaping the future,we must ask a harder question:Who gets to define that future and at whose cost?Host: Dr Tabish ZamanGuests: Said Chihabi & Hani Chihabi (Founders, Thaura AI)Editor: Liam Gadsby.

• Ep17: Growth Is Not the Only Goal 21.01.2026 1t 14min

  Episode 17: Growth Is Not the Only GoalWe are constantly told that growth equals success.That scaling is progress.That innovation means moving faster, bigger, and further no matter the cost.But what if growth itself has become the problem?In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman is joined by Kasper Benjamin Reimer Bjørkskov, Founder of No Objectives, to challenge one of the most deeply embedded assumptions in entrepreneurship, innovation, and design.This is not a conversation about sustainability as a checkbox.It is not about green growth or better metrics.It is a conversation about repair.Drawing on Kasper’s work in post-growth design, systems change, and collective action, the episode explores what happens when innovation stops chasing expansion and starts taking responsibility for the harm it leaves behind.Together, they discuss:• Why climate collapse and social collapse are the same design failure• How optimisation without empathy leads to extraction, not progress• Why growth has replaced meaning and what that has cost us• How systems are designed to concentrate power rather than distribute care• Why sustainability is an outcome, not a process• What regenerative design requires in a world already in overshoot• Why collective action matters more than individual heroics• How innovation should be measured by restoration, not valuation🎙 “Not all innovation builds. Some of it repairs.”This episode challenges founders, designers, policymakers, and anyone working inside systems that claim to create value while quietly producing harm.Because if growth is not the goal, we are forced to ask a harder question:What are we actually building for and who does it serve?Host: Dr Tabish ZamanGuest: Kasper Benjamin Reimer Bjørkskov (Founder, No Objectives)
• Ep 16: We Never Paid Attention to This Side of Tech 09.01.2026 1t 7min

  Technology Isn’t Neutral. It’s Cultural.We are constantly told technology is neutral.That algorithms are objective.That design is “just technical.”But technology doesn’t appear from nowhere.It is built by people, shaped by culture, and assembled through decisions, decisions that increasingly determine who gets a job, who gets a mortgage, and who receives medical care.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman is joined by Glenn Block (Founder & CEO, ProdSense) to unpack what the tech industry often refuses to name:Neutrality is not the absence of bias.It is often the protection of privilege.This is not a conversation about hype.It is a conversation about responsibility and what happens when innovation scales faster than care.Together, they explore:• Why “neutral technology” is a dangerous myth• How culture shapes design decisions long before launch• What product equity means in practice, not as a slogan• Why exclusion is often designed in, not discovered later• Who is missing from the rooms where products are imagined• How startup culture rewards speed, not accountability• Why accessibility and inclusion cannot be retrofitted after harm• And what responsible innovation should demand from entrepreneurs, designers, and institutions🎙 “The bias isn’t in the zeros and ones it’s in how we assemble them.”This episode is a challenge to founders, innovators, and anyone building systems that touch other people’s lives. Because if technology reflects our culture, we have to ask:what kind of world are we building and for whom?
• Ep:15 Christmas Special: Rugby isn't the only thing this Club wins at! 19.12.2025 1t 7min

  At Christmas, we are told stories about generosity and togetherness.But in many UK cities, the reality looks very different.Shrinking public services.Widening inequalities.Communities carrying more with less.In this Christmas Special of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman returns to Hull — a city often reduced to statistics, but held together by people.Joined by Paul Hamnett, CEO of the Hull KR Foundation, and Vikki Tate, Employability and Skills Manager, this episode explores how a rugby league club has become a form of social infrastructure.This is not a story about sport.It is a story about belonging, dignity, and civic repair — and what happens when community organisations step in where systems fall short.Together, they explore:• How sport becomes a vehicle for trust and connection• Why community organisations now fill gaps left by shrinking public services• How youth employment, mental health, education, and inclusion intersect• Why prevention is undervalued — and crisis is always more expensive• What real inclusion looks like beyond slogans🎙 “When a sporting institution becomes social infrastructure, it’s worth asking why it had to.”This episode reframes rugby not as entertainment, but as care.A conversation about leadership rooted in service.About communities holding the social fabric together.And about what Christmas really means in places rarely associated with hope.
• Ep 14: Integrating Into A New Country Is A Two-Way Street 17.12.2025 1t 20min

  Integration is often treated as a checklist.Learn the language.Follow the rules.Fit in quietly.But real integration doesn’t work that way.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Montasir Mohamed — entrepreneur, business leader, and refugee-turned-citizen in Finland — about what integration actually looks like when it moves beyond policy and into everyday life.This is not a conversation about charity.It is not about compliance.It is about agency, responsibility, trust, and belonging — on both sides.Together, they explore:• Why integration fails when only one side carries the burden• How language becomes dignity rather than assimilation• Why waiting for stability keeps people stuck• How fear — not culture — blocks belonging• Why refugees are framed as dependents instead of contributors• How entrepreneurship becomes survival, not ambition• What Finland gets right — and where it still struggles• Why policies can open doors, but people must walk through them🎙 “Integration isn’t something that happens to you. It’s something you build.”This episode challenges the idea that inclusion can be delivered by systems alone.Because belonging is not granted.It is built — together.

  You Are Being Played by Big TechIn this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Mona Fowzy — CEO of JaneTech and a software engineer with over 25 years across EA, AOL, Yahoo, CBS, and global scientific labs — about why we don’t need more technology at all.We need less hype, less manipulation, and far more courage to question the systems shaping our lives. Together, they explore:• Why most new technology fixes nothing but extracts everything• How AI, crypto, and surveillance tools manufacture fear, urgency, and dependency• How everyday people are turned into test subjects for corporate agendas• Why engineers have become foot soldiers for political and military power• How Big Tech’s greed has erased usability, access, and trust• Why the most “advanced” products are often the most exploitative• Why real progress won’t come from Silicon Valley, but from ignored communities• And how Palestine reveals exactly who technology was designed to privilege — and who it was built to erase🎙 “The real risk isn’t being left behind — it’s being led blindly.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar

We Need Belonging!In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Dr Alexandra David — sociologist at the Institute of Work and Technology in Germany and one of Europe’s leading voices on migration, innovation, and inclusion.Together, they explore:How refugee and migrant entrepreneurs turn displacement into innovation.Why “deprived areas” are often the most creative spaces in Europe.The real meaning of embeddedness, connectedness, and belongingness.Why inclusion begins with trust, not policy.🎙 “Entrepreneurship isn’t just economic — it’s emotional.

  When systems crumble, who still shows up? In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Debra Allcock Tyler, CEO of the Directory of Social Change — one of the UK’s most fearless voices on charity leadership, advocacy, and justice.From shrinking council budgets to silenced community voices, Debra unpacks what it means to lead when compassion itself is under attack. Together, they explore:Why charities are not a luxury, but the last line of defence for millions.How leadership, truth-telling, and advocacy can survive political hostility.Why the voluntary sector holds the moral fabric of a democracy fraying at its edges.And what happens when those who care are told to “stay out of politics.”🎙 “Charities don’t exist to fill gaps — they exist to stop people falling through them.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar
