The human stories behind modern Poland.
Warsaw Confidential is an independent, English-language media brand from Warsaw. Long conversations, daily short video and one Sunday email about the people who live here, the ones who left, and the ones who came and stayed.

Why we do this
Poland is one of the most misread countries in Europe.
From the outside, Poland is a headline: a border, an election, a statistic. From the inside it is almost 38 million people, a history that was nearly erased, and a country changing faster than its reputation.
I moved here 15 years ago and stayed. Warsaw Confidential is where I explain the place properly, through the people living it: founders, nurses, artists, immigrants, and Poles who left and came back.
We are independent. No party, no sponsor and no algorithm decides what gets said.
Nobody tells me what to say. I give both sides so you can decide.
What we make
One brand. Four ways in.

We don't just publish. We start the arguments worth having.
Immigration, identity, history, dating, work. The subjects people in Poland argue about at dinner are the ones we put on camera, and the comment sections are part of the show. One Reel was shared more than 81,000 times.
Poles see their country through a stranger's eyes
And correct me when I get it wrong. Poland is our biggest single audience, at 38% of followers.
Foreigners finally get it explained
For the expat who speaks the language and still can't read the room, and the viewers in the US and the UK who make up almost a third of our followers.
Both sides, every time
We host people who disagree with each other and with me. Nothing here is selling Poland. It explains it.
