Most recently, at the start of 2023, Noor Stars launched her very own podcast titled Stars Podcast. She’s already garnered over 336K subscribers on her YouTube channel, and her successful journey has only just begun. Noor Stars launched her project when she noticed an absence of her preferred podcast content in the region. In such circumstances, why not curate her *own* podcast content, like a true entrepreneur and visionary?

More on Noor Stars’ Stars Podcast…

Cosmo ME: So you were our cover star exactly last year September. What has changed in your life in this past year?

Noor: Well, I have a podcast now called Stars Podcast. You should watch the next episode, my guests are Huda Beauty and Mona Kattan! It’s a very big episode.

Cosmo ME: That’s really exciting. What other projects are you currently working on?

Noor: I’m experimenting more with music, and the podcast is a very big project for me. Honestly, I’m focusing more on enjoying the journey. I feel like in the past, I was very rushed, but now I feel like I’m enjoying the moments more. Like, I’m here fully enjoying this conversation.

Cosmo ME: What led you to start Stars Podcast?

Noor: I wanted to see a podcast like this in the Middle East, and although we have a few podcasts, I never saw something similar to this. I saw an opportunity, and I said to myself, “If I don’t see it and if it’s not there, let me be the one to bring it to the Middle East.”

Cosmo ME: If you could choose one dream guest to have on your podcast, who would you choose?

Noor: Drake. I mean, why not, right? He likes to go on podcasts. He likes to have a nice conversation, but I feel like that turned into a very ugly situation. I promise you, Drake, it won’t be like that with me. It will be very chill, a nice conversation. Come to the Middle East, come to Dubai, and come to Stars Podcast! I love you so much already, so why not?

We wish Noor Stars continued success in her podcast Stars Podcast. Here’s hoping that Drake will join her as a special guest!
