THE PODCAST

"No safe ground — until there's
a safe ground."

No Safe Ground is a conversation between Ireland and the Middle East — two places shaped by occupation, partition and resistance, and two peoples who kept their dignity anyway.

Pól Ó Geibheannaigh was born in Derry, behind the checkpoints and curfews of British occupation. Twenty years later he was reporting across the region — Cairo, Beirut, Tehran — as a journalist, artist and filmmaker. In every conversation he brings the one thing few others can: a life that lived it, on both sides of the same colonial playbook.

"A boy from Derry doesn't mistake occupation for anything else."

Each episode: dialogue, not spectacle — with the journalists, scholars, artists and witnesses who are building the record while the rest of the world looks away.
