Finyal Media was founded in 2018 by Majid Al Qassimi and Mshari Alonaizy as a media production company that specializes in podcasts with an educational twist. The idea came about following discussions between the two founders. Mshari, who had just launched his first podcast and Majid, who was an avid podcast consumer, were discussing the lack of relevant local content for the Arab region. They established Finyal Media with the aim of creating Arabic and English content specifically designed to help young people reconnect with the region and feel inspired by the amazing stories and narratives that are not being highlighted.
