In The episode, we continue the epic tale of “The Story of Sultan Umar ibn al-Nu’man and his sons Sharkhan and Dau’ al-Makan and the strange and remarkable things that happened to them” with Nights 49 and 50.
We continue with our exploration of the adventure of Sharkhan, our heroic prince, who in previous episodes met the Greek princess, who in this episode is revealed to be Abrizah, in the convent and wrestled with her and failed and has now spent a number of days enjoying her company.
While the Princess Abrizah has continually shown that she triumphs over Sharkhan in many different formats, in this episode it is Chess, the reasons for her triumphs are also reviled as we go further in this episode when both are interrupted by soldiers from her father’s kingdom and Sharkhan is shown as the heroic and warlike personality that he is.
This episode celebrates reaching the 50th night a tremendous achievement to have met. This is all thanks to the listeners, supporters, and well-wishers who continue to support this podcast series. Thank you!
In our next episode, we will begin a new special series bringing you once again tales of wonder, joy, and fancy as we explore the world of literature and folk literature from underserved parts of the world!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
