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](http://www.opendemocracy.net/author/Laetitia%5FChaucesse.jsp) sees the play Fallujah in London. [Katherine Hudson](http://www.opendemocracy.net/author/Katherine%5FHudson.jsp) talks to [Kanishk Tharoor](http://www.opendemocracy.net/author/Kanishk%5FTharoor.jsp) about the US Army's new channel on YouTube. And [Solana Larsen](http://www.opendemocracy.net/author/Solana%5FLarsen.jsp) introduces and video memorial for US soldiers and blogs from Iraq.
