About this listen

Hosted by writer-activists Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah and Sara Saleh, 2 Pals & a Pod is where feminist praxis meets decolonial side-eye. In a world gaslighting us into silence, we say the unsayable, with plenty of receipts, rage, and real tenderness. Each episode, we sit down with thinkers, artists, advocates, and organisers who refuse to be polite in the face of genocide. We hope these conversations will educate, inspire, and mobilise communities towards justice and liberation.

Weekly episode drops on MONDAY.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Darug people, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We honour their continuing connection to Country, waters, and culture.

All episodes of this podcast were recorded on their ancestral lands.

  • Feminist praxis in a time of genocide: Amani Haydar

    Feminist praxis in a time of genocide: Amani Haydar
    Oct 14 2025

    🎙️ Episode 5 of 2 Pals & a Pod is out now!

    We’re joined by the inimitable Amani Haydar, writer, artist, and advocate, for a powerful conversation on feminist praxis in a time of genocide. Together, we explore the links between state-sanctioned and interpersonal violence, asking: how can a race-critical, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial feminism help us make sense of - and resist - the violences we’re living through?

    Sep 29 2025

    “Nothing could honestly ever prepare you.”

    The third episode of 2 Pals & a Pod with Dr Bushra Othman is out now. Dr Othman is the first Palestinian-'Australian' woman doctor to go to Gaza, and recently returned from her third medical mission there.

    On this episode, Dr Othman talks about starvation as a deliberate strategy to fracture communities, the gendered impact of genocidal violence, the responsibilities of medical professionals in a time of genocide, and how she used instant coffee packets to help a 13 year old boy with his physio sessions.
