#687 don’t talk about the water

Don’t talk about the water:
"Now, it is time to talk about the water." In this episode, we examine the concepts of the homeland and diaspora. That tension between familiarity and unease. A young woman reflects on experiences in her homeland, Lebanon, and abroad, and struggles to find safety in either place amid escalating war. Written and produced by Alissar Seyla. Sound Design by Tala Issaoui  The story was also originally commissioned by Debris Magazine for Issue 06: No! The co-editors were Jon Tjhia and Cher Tan. You can find out more about Debris Magazine here. You can also check out the previous episode featuring the co-editors, John and Cher, here, featuring other excerpts from Issue 6.
