Podcast in Polish with Miasto Jest Nasze

I fell in love with Warsaw. I've lived here for years, and never imagined that ordinary people are shaping this city. That's why I joined the Association Miasto Jest Nasze as a volunteer podcaster. It's a great opportunity to be among those who want to make a difference. And, since I'm a foreigner, guess who I'm talking to? That's right: foreigners in Warsaw. :)

In this episode, I interview Marianna Jaroslavska, a lawyer, PhD candidate and content creator who has built both her professional and personal life in Warsaw. We discuss migration, identity, finding your voice in a new language, and what helps newcomers build a sense of belonging in a new city.

In this episode of the podcast series Warszawiacy Wszystkich Krajów, I interview Andrej Nowik, director, actor and co-founder of By Theatre, a Belarusian theatre collective based in Warsaw. We discuss migration, Belarusian culture, freedom and identity, and how theatre can help people preserve their stories, build community and find a sense of belonging in a new city.

In this episode, I speak with Sasha Avdevich, the founder of Inclusive Barista — a Warsaw café that combines social entrepreneurship, accessibility, and multiculturalism. Recorded in English directly at Inclusive Barista, the conversation explores Sasha’s journey from leaving Belarus for political reasons to rebuilding life in Poland, as well as the café’s mission to create employment opportunities for people with disabilities and migrants.

In the first episode of Warszawiacy Wszystkich Krajów, I talk to Tôn Vân Anh, journalist, translator, social activist, and author of Xin chào! Vietnam for the Curious, about the Vietnamese community in Warsaw, life between cultures, integration, language, stereotypes, and how perceptions of people of Vietnamese origin in Poland have changed over time. The conversation opens a new podcast series exploring how migrants, local initiatives, and multicultural communities co-create the identity of modern Warsaw.

In the latest episode of Warsaw Pulse, I speak with Oksana Pestrykova from the Ukrainian House in Warsaw about integration, everyday challenges, disinformation, and how to build a more open and supportive city for all residents. Read more about the Ukrainian House here: ukrainskidom.pl

In this year's (2025) final episode of Warsaw Pulse, I talk to Ales Lapka, director of the Belarusian Youth Hub, about the organization's activities, the life of the Belarusian community in Warsaw, integration, and the challenges faced by foreigners in the capital.
