Like the wanderings in his book Octobre Liban (Inculte, 2020), Camille Ammoun surveys the streets of Beirut's north eastern suburbs as far as the fishing port of Bourj Hammoud, at the foot of the Bourj Hammoud-Jdeidé dump and landfill site. 

Salah Badis is the author of a collection of short stories, to be published by Barzakh in Algeria and Philippe Rey in France, in which he explores the city of Algiers, where he lives. 

Salah Badis explores the east of Algiers, travelling back and forth between the different neighbourhoods that he loves, rich in memories, anecdotes and stories that allow Algerian voices to be heard. 

Valérie Cachard meets one of the members of her theatre company in Tamara Keldany's garden in Beit Mary, a Lebanese village located in the mountains overlooking Beirut. 

On a street corner in the heart of downtown Tunis, former headquarters of the 2011 demonstrators, Nadia Khiari talks about her work as a cartoonist and her memories of this pivotal period in Tunisia's history, equally pivotal for her.

On the fringe of the Couleurs d'avril festival at the French Institute of Tunisia, Nadia Khiari compares her vision as a Mediterranean artist with those of novelist Fatima Daas and historian Sophie Bessis: Three women from three generations bringing Tunisian revolutionary history to life, with all of its hopes and disillusions. 

On the beach of La Marsa in the northern suburbs of Tunis, Nadia Khiari meets Emel Tounsi, the co-director of the "Entreprendre Tunisie" network, which aims to support young entrepreneurs; an opportunity for them to discuss the socio-economic challenges facing post-2011 Tunisia. 

In Salé, Morocco, the author Abdellah Taïa returns to the scenes of his childhood. During a writing workshop with a dozen young Moroccans held to coincide with filming the episode, Abdellah Taïa offers a reflection on the margins of Moroccan society today and the processes of invisibilisation, themes that permeate his work. 

Alternating between workshop sessions and walks through the city of Salé and the places that have shaped him, Abdellah Taïa talks with young participants in the writing workshop. 

It was in Lyon that this series of podcasts was developed and it is also where Camille Ammoun meets street urchin François Beaune for a walk through the alleys and passages, where imaginary worlds and stories collide.
