About this listen
Former guest, photojournalist Claire Thomas, joins me to talk about her first monograph, Altai: Hunters and Herders of Mongolia. Her book captures life in the remote mountains of western Mongolia, where Kazakh families train golden eagles, herd animals across vast plains, and balance centuries-old traditions with the realities of modern change. Then, in a complete change of direction for the second part of our chat, Claire speaks about her documentary and advocacy work in northern Ghana, documenting women accused of witchcraft who are forced into bleak camps, and her fundraiser to provide mattresses for those who currently sleep on bare ground.
From the mailbag today, Adriano Henney writes about publishing your work and why it matters, Bob of the desert dodges those jumping cholla in Arizona while sending in one of the most honest letters I’ve read in a long while, and Gavin Perry heads for Complaints Corner, or at least he would, if we hadn’t effectively cancelled his flight. All will be revealed.
Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.
