We are delighted to announce the release of the first podcast episode from #UWRF25. In our first episode, join moderator Petra Molnar as she talks with brilliant minds Omar El Akkad, Neal Hall and Shiori Itō about how they choose to confront unthinkable atrocity with their pens, the tools that allow them to write in these times of urgent need, and why it is necessary to write on the battleground. Inspiring, challenging and wonderfully moving, we hope this and all the upcoming conversations are excellent company for your ears as we enter into the festive season. Listen to the most urgent conversations from this year’s Festival, available at https://www.ubudwritersfestival.com/media and on podcast platforms such as Spotify and Simplecast.
