Welcome to the openDemocracy's poDcast.
This week, we look at different stories people are telling about the Iraq war. Neither pro- or anti-war forces are content with the mainstream media account. So they create their own media alternatives. Laetitia Chaucesse sees the play Fallujah in London. Katherine Hudson talks to Kanishk Tharoor about the US Army's new channel on YouTube. And Solana Larsen introduces and video memorial for US soldiers and blogs from Iraq.
