The podcasts run the gamut of formats and content, from straight journalism to experimental and documentary approaches, ethnography and fiction, sound art and improvisation. The series is co-initiated and co-produced by Norient and the Goethe-Institut. Edited by Suvani Suri, Thomas Burkhalter, and Abhishek Mathur.
