Hi, it's me K.P. Before the episode begins, two housekeeping items. Number one. Everything that you are about to hear is 100% real,

100% true. All of the sounds that you hear in this episode are sent to us from the

phones of the people that you hear speaking. The things that you hear in the recordings are things that happened

close enough to them that they could take out their phone and videotape it and get the sounds that you hear.

We use the sounds that each person sent us in the section where they speak.

So you can imagine the person speaking, standing with their phone recording, the sounds that you're hearing. We didn't take any creative license other than adding music here and there. It was tricky organizing this interview. There

were six different schedules trying to line up and so the moment that they

finally lined up felt like a miracle and I was so nervous meeting these people for the first time

that I forgot to record my side in a couple of parts.

You hear the shuffle of the technical difficulties. Also, Sepide, who just so

happened to be in Egypt at the time and was able to help us out with the recording.

Number two, there is some triggering content in this episode.

There are graphic depictions of violence and the sounds of guns and bombs.

It is my personal ask of you to listen anyway, even if you don't feel like it.

They endured having flashbacks to these events

for the rest of the day after our interview finished

so that someone would know what they went through,

what all of their friends and family are still going through.

Think about the emotional reaction that you have listening to their words

and how it might have felt to experience the things that they're talking about.

Without further ado. A do. From Marmar Dalas and Ashtaïl and Astrath theatre. From the north of Gaza.
