We're with Jad Ghosn for Episode 352 of The Beirut Banyan, recorded live at Aaliya's Books.

The discussion we shared is exactly why I podcast.

We covered our thoughts on independent journalism and an expanding alternative-digital media space, political persuasion through long-form narration, and our own respective lives growing up in post-civil war Lebanon (and how that shaped the words and phrases we use regularly that evolve over time).

Jad Ghosn is an independent journalist and podcaster. Check out his channel Reflections with @JadGhosn

A special thanks to Wael Abifaker for his audio-technical support and to Aaliya's Books for hosting the event.
