Hosted by Caelainn Hogan, Portals is a new podcast series from International Literature Festival Dublin that takes listeners beyond their radius, through conversations with a half-dozen writers based across the globe, all of whom were scheduled to read at ILFDublin 2020, prior to its postponement - listen above.

In this first episode, Caelainn speaks to The New Yorker's Moscow correspondent Joshua Yaffa about his book Between Two Fires, which lifts the lid on Putin's Russia.
Episodes of the series will be released on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays over the next two weeks, with other guests including Esther Saftan Foer, David Peace, Fernanda Melchor, Géraldine Schwarz and Rodaan Al Galidi.
