Episode 5: Issa Odeh

Welcome to Hear Our Story, the podcast where first-generation Palestinian American voices take center stage. We’re Alex Elias and Janice Farhat. Together, we’re sitting down with family, friends, aunts, uncles, and yes—all your cousins too—to share the rich, complex stories of growing up between two worlds: the land that gave us life and the one that lives forever in our hearts. These aren’t just our stories—they’re stories that will feel familiar, maybe even like your own. So grab some coffee, get comfortable, and let’s dive into these conversations that are as enlightening as they are entertaining.
