Hey, I'm Bassam Akl
I grew up taking apart radios and computers and never stopped asking how things work. Today I host Khawarizmiya, a weekly show where I talk to the people building the future of marketing and online business.
How the show started
From tech journalist to podcaster
I spent ten years reporting on start-ups and gadgets for magazines and websites. The best part was always the interviews, so in 2018 I started the podcast to share those conversations in full.
What began as a hobby in a spare room in Amman now reaches 50,000 subscribers and 180,000 followers across platforms.

Publications and interviews
My interviews and columns have appeared in Raqmi Magazine, Al Iqtisadi Weekly and on Amman Tech Radio, and I am a regular panellist at start-up events in Amman, Dubai and Riyadh.
