Diana Safieh - Writer & Podcaster

I'm Diana Safieh: writer, podcaster and professional troublemaker. .

I'm the host of the Britain Palestine Project Podcast, currently ranked the #1 podcast on Palestine, where I interview leading politicians, diplomats, journalists, academics and actrivists like historian and Empire podcaster William Dalrymple, Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zomlot, Professor Avi Shlaim, Baroness Helena Kennedy and many more.

When I'm not talking about international law, diplomacy and human rights, I'm usually talking about murder.

I co-host Switchblade Sisters Social Club alongside Isla Coole of Criminally Good Books in York. Our true crime podcast has been recognised as one of the Best 30 True Crime Podcasts in the UK and one of the Best 100 Crime Podcasts with Two Female Hosts. 

We exploit our worst fears for your entertainment. You're welcome.

Much of my career has been spent in the charity sector, raising funds and awareness for humanitarian and development projects, particularly in Palestine. In recognition of this work, I was honoured to be invested as a Member of the Order of St John.

Whether I'm interviewing a former ambassador, producing a conference, writing about a cold case, or persuading a room full of strangers to care about a cause, I'm driven by the same thing: a fascination with people, power, injustice, and the stories we tell ourselves about all three.
