In an era where the fast pace of modern life often overshadows our historical roots, two dedicated Chaldean attorneys, Alexander Karana (“Alookii”) and Joseph Arabbo (“Shamash”), have taken a significant step towards bridging this gap. Their initiative, a compelling new podcast titled "Alookii & Shamash," aims to foster a deeper connection within the Chaldean community to their rich cultural heritage and identity.

The conception of "Alookii & Shamash" traces back to a transformative journey undertaken by both hosts. During their trip to Iraq with Nineveh Rising in September, Alexander and Joseph were profoundly moved by the direct encounter with their ancestral land and heritage. This experience sparked a shared vision to create a platform that would engage the Chaldean diaspora in meaningful dialogues about their history, culture and the importance of preservation.
