The Symmetry Topological field theory (SymTFT) has played an important role in recent studies of symmetries in physics. As one application, it provides a clear and unifying picture of bosonization and fermionization in two dimensions. On the other hand, for theories having a non-anomalous Z_N symmetry with N > 2, people have long speculated about the presence of parafermions. In this informal talk, we revisit the bosonization/parafermionization procedure from the SymTFT point of view, and explain some subtleties and peculiarities involved. It will be based on 2309.01913 and (hopefully) accessible to a broad audience. Part of the London TQFT journal club (https://www.london-tqft.co.uk)
