Episode 11: Sadia Azmat (Comedian) Breaking every possible stereotype about Muslim women, Stand Up Comedian Sadia Azmat has broken boundaries and then some. One half of the podcast duo who present the BBC Sounds podcast No Country For Young Women, Sadia's own brand of honest sex and relationship themed comedy has gained her an international reputation and there's no stopping this free-spirited who's about to embark on a month of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We chat about how she got into comedy, her recent BBC Radio 2 documentary about being single, BAME representation and why she could never be a Hijab-blogger. Plus in 'The Desi Woman Reading List' Literary Expert Obie Matin reviews Nadiya Hussain's novel The Secret Lives of the Amir Sisters. This episode contains content of a sexual nature (but there are no swear words!) The show samples the track Indra by the Thievery Corporation.
