On today's podcast we follow two Gazans on their return home. It's a beautiful, heartbreaking episode full of little details that will stay with you - produced by @alexatack.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

I've had the honor & pleasure of working with this team on this new series for the past year. It's a new genre of storytelling for me. I've learned tons & have new-found respect for the rigor & determination of investigative journalism. Seems obvious, but I've never been up close quite like this.
