Radio & Podcasts

Sahar has extensive experience across radio, podcasts and audio storytelling, working as a presenter, reporter, host and producer across current affairs, investigations, documentaries and feature-led programmes.

Her work ranges from international reporting and long-form documentaries to stories exploring human rights, religion, culture, identity and the arts — often going beyond the headlines and into hard-to-access communities to tell intimate, revealing stories.

Across subjects and formats, her work combines strong journalism with immersive, character-driven storytelling, curiosity and an instinct for finding the human stories that bring complex issues, people, places and ideas to life through sound.
