There’s a particular energy that fills the air during the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival Podcast, a feeling of being part of a vital, global conversation. Produced by the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival team, this series captures the essence of the annual gathering, preserving its most compelling dialogues for anyone who couldn’t be there in person or who wants to revisit a moment of insight. Each episode is drawn from the festival’s 2025 highlights program, featuring a rich mix of local and international voices from the worlds of literature, art, and social thought. What you’ll hear are not just interviews, but genuine, meandering conversations where ideas collide-discussions that grapple with history, dissect our current realities, and thoughtfully consider how the stories we tell influence what comes next. This podcast serves as an invitation to linger in those spaces where writing meets activism, where personal narrative intersects with culture, and where reflection sparks new understanding. It’s for anyone curious about the power of words and the people who wield them to shape our collective future. Tune in for a dose of intellectual vitality and the kind of authentic exchange that makes the Ubud festival a landmark event.
