In November, we (PodCastle) ran a month of Palestinian stories, and honestly I think it is the single best month of stories we've ever run, and you should listen to it on those grounds alone.

But I also spent a lot of time on those outros, and meant to write more about them at the time, but: busy.

Palestinian Voices Month - PodCastle

PodCastle is extremely proud to present Palestinian Voices, our special month of stories by Palestinian authors. We will be publishing one of these fabulous stories every week during November 2024, an...

Addendum: if you appreciated and valued the Palestinian month, then right now EA (our non-profit publisher) is having its end-of-year fundraising drive, with a $7000 matching fund. The entire enterprise—all 5 casts—is built on donations, so please chip in to help us do more work like this

Happy Holidays! My gift to you this season is an adventurous, post-apocalyptic story about stories; how they keep our souls fed and connected. It's been brought to life by the amazing team at @escapepod.org, performed by the wonderful Rosie Sentman. Listen to the story or read it for free here:

Escape Pod 972: The Bargain of Death and Saint Nicholas
