Based in Prague, Strong Sense of Place is a collaborative literary project led by Melissa Joulwan and David Humphreys. The duo produces the Strong Sense of Place Podcast, a series that explores a different global destination in each episode through five curated book recommendations and segments like Two Truths and a Lie. Their production lineup includes The Library of Lost Time, a weekly five-minute video and audio show that highlights new book releases and explores literary curiosities, such as the history of the Gothic genre or the origin of regional confections. Joulwan, a former cookbook author and memoirist, and Humphreys, a professional photographer, recently expanded their digital presence into physical experiences by hosting a boutique literary retreat at a manor house in Wales. They maintain a long-standing partnership with the audiobook platform Libro.fm, emphasizing support for independent bookstores. This focus on armchair travel and bibliophile culture has earned them coverage in publications like The Guardian.
