Wesam is back with another all-new episode of Wesam’s World Podcast! This week, it’s just Wesam and producer Alex diving into some major industry topics, big plans, and of course… a little chaos.

And in true Wesam’s World fashion, it all ends with a reminder that life’s better when you stay weird, laugh often, and don’t take things too seriously.

The vaguely scary, beat-crazy sound you might have heard on recent episodes of “Desperate Housewives” and “CSI: Miami” comes courtesy of Kasabian, currently infecting American ears with the intense marriage of druggy beats and massive guitar riffs from their self-titled debut. “We’re going… Read more »
