The challenges of telling a personal tragedy
How My Indian Life told the tragic story of the death of a young mountain climber. We hear your feedback and the show’s producer talks about striking the right editorial tone.
My Indian Life is a podcast that celebrates being young in India today and features a Bollywood star as its presenter. But a recent edition was different: it was about a pioneering female mountain climber who died tragically before the programme could be broadcast. We hear your feedback and the show’s producer talks about striking the right editorial tone.
Plus, a listener says she misses not being able to bookmark programmes in BBC Sounds after first hearing a trailer.
