‘Emirati Stories’ is an audio podcast founded by former journalist Nathalie Gillet to give expats in the UAE the opportunity to approach Emirati culture and society through a collection of personal interviews and individual life stories. In a calm and friendly atmosphere, Emirati guests from a variety of backgrounds speak about themselves at their own pace, sharing their aspirations, motivations and sometimes also their doubts, going back to the roots and key influences of the past. Halfway between journalism and literature, far from the whirlwind of news, this programme aims at providing a foreign audience with a different tool to understand the way people in the Gulf think and see the world around them. Emirati Stories was launched early 2018 and is available for free on iTunes (https://apple.co/2EYiWb5) or any other podcast application for Android devices (https://bit.ly/2F6aSF6).
