Brian Reed and Hamza Syed are co-hosts of the new podcast\xa0The Trojan Horse Affair.\n\n\u201cI had lost all faith in the reporting that already happened on the subject matter. And that was my mentality with each source and each interviewer. I wanted the debate ended in the room because I didn't want commentary beyond it. I didn't want any kind of interpretation beyond it. I wanted the situation to be resolved there and then\u2026. And without certain answers, I thought we weren't going to be able to speak about this matter in the way that I wanted to speak about it.\u201d\xa0\u2014Syed\n\u201cI both desperately wanted to know the answer of who wrote the letter, but kind of understood that we probably weren't going to get it beyond a shadow of a doubt. And I thought that I had transmitted that to Hamza and that he understood that. But as time went on, I realized that he had not accepted that as the likely outcome. And this is what was actually so energizing to work with you, Hamza. You never let your hope and desire and hunger to get that answer ever get dimmed. Like, ever.\u201d \u2014Reed\n\nShow notes:\n\n@BriHReed\n\n@HamzaMSyed\n\nReed on Longform Podcast\n\n00:00\xa0S-Town\xa0(Serial Productions \u2022 2017)\xa0\n\n01:00\xa0The Trojan Horse Affair\xa0(Serial Productions \u2022 2022)\xa0\n\n21:56\xa0"Trojan Horse Primary Barred Muslims from Easter Classes, Tribunal Hears"\xa0(Richard Adams \u2022 The Guardian \u2022 Dec 2015)\xa0\n\n49:00\xa0Serial: Season Three\xa0(Serial Productions \u2022 2018)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
