A birthday love letter, from me to me. Saying to myself everything I wish I'd heard for 28 years. Do listen, and let me know if it moves you in any way.

@AxelKacoutie how beautifully said! 🥺🌼

[Ashrita Achar (she/her) @AshritaAchar]

This show has been a treasure trove of learning and inspiration. It's guided me on my own journey of finding my radio voice. Producing for Short Cuts was on my bucket-list, what a tragedy to have lost this playground. I pray that it soon finds a bigger pot to grow in. ❤️‍🩹

Beyond proud of @AshritaAchar for pulling this off! Love you loads 💓

On her recent travels to South Korea, @AshritaAchar was unexpectedly, yet delightfully, reminded of how evocative a small piece of field recording could be.

As a child, @menakaraman would play for hours on the street. But as she got older she retreated indoors, where it was ‘safer’.

In 'Personal Best', she traces the relationship women have with the streets as a place to move and play.

An incredible episode that's encouraging me to start thinking about what is it about audio that I need to decolonise and reimagine for myself

.@_RobRosenthal loves European audio storytelling, but sometimes thinks "what was that about?!" He says the problem isn't the storytelling, it's his American ears! On this @soundschoolpod, Alan Hall, of @FallingTreeProd, helps Rob listen in a new way.
