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.
