Explain Saudi Arabia To Me - Omar Alomran, Thmanyah

I'm in Riyadh this week. It's my first time. I'm here for a new creator conference called Impaq Makers. It's run by the Ministry of Media. I spent a few days exploring the city and speaking to people. But a strategist friend Faisal Alshareef told me about a big YouTube channel here called Thmanyah. I asked if I could meet them and interview them. Faisal made it happen. Thmanyah have a Guinness World Record for the most-viewed YouTube video but, if you're like me, I bet you've never seen it. One of Thmanyah's public faces is Omar Almoran. He hosts a weekly news podcast called the Alfajr Podcast. In this episode, recorded in the Thmanyah office, I try to understand the kinds of change happening in Saudi Arabia as well as their scale and pace.
