Hamburger Generation (or as our parents call us – جيل الهمبرجر) is a podcast show full of light-hearted stories about the lives of 2nd generation Arab expats.
Great Stories by Great Storytellers!
“Hamburger Generation” or “جيل الهمبرجر” is a term coined by Arab elders to describe today’s spoiled and westernized Arab youth. We chose to embrace the term with humor as it playfully describes the Arab millennials.
