Talha Ahad
Welcome to Talha Ahad Podcast. It was journalism that brought me back to Islamabad from London in 2016. Over the last 6 years, I have been privileged enough to meet with lots of interesting people from former PM Imran Khan, to Guantanamo Bay prisoners, to industry leaders, politicians, creatives, and all kinds of people in between. The stories they shared off-screen were far more fascinating than the ones they told on screen.
I am Talha Ahad, an entrepreneur, journalist, and documentary filmmaker. I am going on a journey to explore who people really are beyond the face they show to the world. And have meaningful conversations about how their stories have shaped them and the way they see the world today. I hope you enjoy it.
