Ukraine Series: 1. A View From Syria w/ Leila Al-Shami

In light of what’s been happening in Ukraine I am publishing a series of episodes that will, hopefully, bring in perspectives that are usually not platformed.

The first episode is with British-Syrian writer and activist Leila Al-Shami.

The Fire These Times is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Anchor, Breaker, Amazon Music, Audible, Stitcher, Radio Public, Pocket Casts, Castro and RSS.
