About
The human stories behind modern Poland.
Warsaw Confidential is an independent, English-language media brand based in Warsaw. We publish a podcast, daily short video, a Sunday email and a library of sourced stories about Poland.
Why we exist
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.
We explain the place through the people living it: founders, nurses, artists, immigrants, and Poles who left and came back. In English, so the people who most need the explanation can follow it.
Nobody tells me what to say. I give both sides so you can decide.
Founder and host
Kamal Jahid
I was born in Morocco and moved to Poland 15 years ago. I came for a while and stayed, and learned the country the slow way.
I've spent 20 years in marketing. Today I run my own Polish company and I'm Chief Marketing Officer of a boutique IT recruitment company in Warsaw. Warsaw Confidential started as a podcast and grew into what you see here: more than 100 million views in under two years.
My work has been featured in Forbes, GQ and Vanity Fair, and on TVN.

Independent, and clear about the money.
Who decides what we say
We do. No party, no sponsor and no algorithm decides what gets said. We host people who disagree with each other and with us.
Who funds us
Nobody. No investor, no party, no institution and no media group stands behind Warsaw Confidential. We pay for it with our own work: speaking, sessions, and a few partners we choose. Invited guests never pay, and nobody buys the questions.
Sources and corrections
Confidential Files list their sources at the end. If we get something wrong, write to us. We fix it and say that we did.
