Introducing the Palestine Podcast Academy!

After six months of hard work, setbacks and leaps forward, and after all manner of logistical challenges, our very first Palestine Podcast Academy is done! In fact our first two Palestine Podcast Academies are done… and we’re ready to share the results!

The Palestine Podcast Academy is an initiative of Latitude Adjustment Podcast, and our Amsterdam-based nonprofit, Open Roads Media. The academy connected Palestinians in Gaza, east Jerusalem, and across the West Bank, for an intensive multi-week course in podcast production, and over the course of the next few weeks we'll be publishing their collaborative team projects. But this is only the beginning.
