LSD, Worms and Cricket

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Pascale Harter presents pieces by writers from around the world. We take a trip to Basel where Matt Pickles tells us about the cities past, present and future with the controversial drug LSD. Rebecca Henschke finds herself going viral in Indonesia not once, not twice but three times. But what does it have to do with worms? In El Salvador Simon Parker lives his boyhood dream, just for one day. But is his debut as an international cricketer a success? And Diana Darke journeys to Anatolia, once named Lycia – where mysterious and magnificent ruins pepper the landscape – to see how the 21st century has affected the ancient practice of transhumance.
