# The PalFest Podcast

A podcast by The Palestine Festival of Literature. Welcome to the first podcast from the Palestine Festival of Literature – a format we’ve been wanting to bring to you for a long time. The PalFest Podcast will highlight new books from and about Palestine, bringing writers together in conversation across borders to discuss new ideas and dig into vital histories. Each episode will feature a different pairing of writers, presented by our co-hosts Beesan Ramadan and Mirza Waheed who, together, will guide us through these unique, essential conversations.
