Life at GUQ is a diverse experience, and we’re just trying to piece it all together as we go. That’s exactly what we’re up to here – taking it one conversation at a time.
Founded by Ibrahim Absar and Remas Alhawari (Class of 2026).
Two parallel stories behind GU-Q’s podcast club.
For Remas Alhawari , it started in an email correspondence. For Ibrahim Absar, it was a joke between friends that wouldn’t die. Neither of them set out to build anything but somehow those two unrelated threads collided into GUQSpeaks: the first student-led podcast club on campus.
Fifty episodes later, in their final sit-down as hosts, the co-founders (Class of 2026) finally put both origin stories side by side. How an email became a real idea. How a joke became a real commitment. The behind-the-scenes work no one saw, the guests and moments that shaped the show, and everything it took to turn two casual starting points into something that outlasted them both.
As they graduate and pass the mic on, this episode is part origin story, part behind-the-scenes, and part goodbye.

Kirby Takes Over: Undercover on GU-Q Speaks | #048
For over 4 years, Kirby, a small pink plush ball , has been quietly traveling the world on Instagram, showing up in cities, landscapes, and moments across the globe, all through an anonymous account that's grown to nearly 1,000 followers without ever revealing who's behind it.
In this episode, we finally sit down with the person carrying Kirby everywhere to talk about how it all started, what it's like to build a community around something so simple, and why staying anonymous has always been part of the charm.
And of course, what's next for Kirby? More countries? More adventures? We get into the future of the little pink plush who's seen more of the world than most of us ever will.
