Sarde After Dinner


Sarde After Dinner was a Lebanese podcast hosted by Médéa Azouri and Mouin Jaber.

History

Sarde, as the show is also known, was started in the aftermath of the 17 October Revolution as a way to discuss the issues plaguing Lebanon and the country's failing government. In January 2025, Azouri announced in an interview that Sarde had ceased, with each host "going their own way."

Hosts

Azouri is French-Lebanese journalist who has written for L’Orient-Le Jour and Noun Magazine. In addition to co-hosting Sarde, Jaber also worked as digital producer for MBC Podcasts. He is the son of well known Lebanese journalist and media consultant Ali Jaber.

Format

The show typically features Médéa and Mouin interviewing prominent cultural, social, and political figures primarily from Lebanon, but also the wider Arab world.

Production

Episodes were primarily recorded in Azouri's Beirut apartment. They were also filmed and posted on YouTube.

Notable episodes

In a September 2022 episode, Hamed Sinno, the lead singer of Mashrou' Leila, broke the news that the group had disbanded.
