Fionnuala Jones meets Ghazal Aljarad

In this episode, Fionnuala Jones our fave podcaster and pop culture guru, chats to our new fave (soz Fionnuala) Ghazal Aljarad, a medical student whose journey from fleeing Syria at 17 to thriving in her late twenties is nothing short of inspiring. Their chat feels like an instant connection between old friends, as they explore Ghazal's experience in Ireland, the warm welcome her family received, their shared grá for Cork city and how the apps are treating Ghazal. While the episode maintains a light-hearted and entertaining tone, it subtly delves into the serious aspect of the refugee experience, emphasising the resilience and normalcy of individuals like Ghazal. Join Fionnuala and Ghazal for a mix of laughter, camaraderie, and insightful reflections on the shared humanity that transcends borders. This episode is a gorgeous l blend of entertainment and genuine conversation. 101/10 would reccomend to a friend.
