Interwoven
Join me, Azka Rehman – an undergraduate at the University of Oxford (Jesus College) – and my guests as we traverse the winding threads of literature, unravelling and reweaving the various patterns that shape stories, one conversation at a time. Centred on raw, unfiltered conversation, Interwoven is a space for students, creatives and academics to discuss the enduring power of books and stories in an age that is increasingly shaped by anti-intellectualism, an age that demands justification for the very existence of the humanities.
This podcast is an invitation to slow down and ruminate on the various questions and themes that literature raises but refuses to neatly answer. Here, we linger in the textures, ambiguities and contradictions that leave edges frayed and knots twisted. Thoughts are allowed to wander and ideas are in a state of constant formation, never fully complete and always resistant to tidy conclusions.
Together, we will follow wherever the intertwining threads of literature may lead.
Listen in every fortnight and join the conversation.

Welcome to Interwoven, a podcast where we follow the winding threads of literature, as they weave together stories and voices across time and cultures. In this episode, I share the inspiration that led to the creation of Interwoven. I talk about the vision and purpose that lie at the very heart of every conversation to come.
