Conversations with Sam Assad is a podcast featuring in-depth interviews with guests from the world of politics, culture, sport, entertainment, and beyond. The show is guest-focused, thoughtful, and rooted in Sam’s journalistic background but with a relaxed, pleasant tone. It’s not about soundbites but rather the real conversation that happens when people have time to speak freely. A central aim of the podcast is to look beyond the public image of each guest and reveal more of the person behind the title, career and reputation. Alongside their work and ideas, the conversations explore the experiences, relationships, values and turning points that have shaped who they are. Sam brings warmth, curiosity, and credibility to the mic, while the guests are always the focus. This format emphasises genuine dialogue over self-promotion, positioning the guest as the focal point while Sam facilitates a respectful exploration of their story.
