Production principles
- Independence: no guest or funder sets the questions or the edit.
- Impartiality: different views are heard; no ethnic, religious or factional advocacy is broadcast.
- Guest safety: guests inside Afghanistan may take part anonymously, audio-only, or with an altered voice.
- Accuracy: figures and claims are checked before publication.
- Access: every episode has a written summary in all three languages.
Where to listen
Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and RSS links will be added here when the first episode is published. Until then, we announce releases in the AYPFRS Telegram channel.
