 * 1) AB talks is a YouTube-based talk show that sheds light on the unseen. It is based on an interview

that unravels the raw and unembellished side of the guests. People featured on the show may vary from YouTubers, influencers, celebrities, motivational speakers, or simply a person that has made a difference. What makes it unique is that there are multiple series within one show. #AB talks originals is a one-on-one conversation that often lasts for about an hour, if not more. It emphasizes the 'human story' and moves things within the audience and the viewers. A lot of emotion and tears are present on the show, that guests tend to fear the interviews. AB speaks specials is the second category of the show, in which the host, Anas, conducts an open discussion with a group of guests. They all come from various backgrounds, offering differing perspectives on a given issue. #AB talks together is the show's third iteration, which has an unusual twist. The roles are reversed in this series. The attendees are given the opportunity to ask the questions. Anas challenges famous couples to ask each other profoundly daring questions about their relationship that they almost probably have never asked before (well, especially not in front of a camera). Couples get to know each other the #ABtalks style, without having to abide by just a cue of cards. The last version of the series is #ABtalks Miniseries, which is a collection of Chapters made in collaboration with a brand that focuses on the personal stories of hand-selected guests. The interview show, screened on both YouTube and Netflix, is aimed at a broad audience. It premiered on Netflix in 2019, with one season and around six episodes available. They have not uploaded any episodes in a while and have given their complete focus on the YouTube channel. Even though the YouTube channel was launched in 2014, the first interview video was released three years ago. A new #AB talks original video is posted almost every Tuesday, while the #AB specials are uploaded every Saturday. With over 200 videos broadcast, the channel has 1.33 million followers. Although the show is located in the UAE, a few videos were shot in other countries such as Egypt and Lebanon. The language used on the show varies depending on the background of the guests on that particular episode.

Impact
The interview-based series ultimately serves many goals, from the topics it addresses to the time and platform it is delivered on. It serves as a means to educate the audience on particular topics, shed light on the arduous paths that people encounter, and, most importantly, highlight the fact that nothing in life comes without hardships or obstacles. #AB talks is a very popular Youtube channel that broadcasts unfiltered content of the guests that appear on each episode. The episodes not only address contentious issues like "sex" and "bullying," but they also include flashbacks, hardships, and memorable experiences that impact the viewers and contribute to their understanding. His show aims to portray the "human behind the title." The show's social feature has made it an extremely successful concept on a medium like Youtube.
