The other, award-winning journalist, writer and globe-trotter Anita Sethi, has travelled widely and written dispatches from around the world, spending many months exploring South Asia and recording her journey through writing and photography. In conversation, with photography and music throughout, join them for a fascinating journey via words and images through vast and varied South Asia – a place teeming with travelling tales.
