Life in Progress is the story of Nanou Thassinda and her journey for belonging and acceptance in the UK. After Nanou's dad was murdered in The Democratic Republic of the Congo for publicly speaking-out against the government, Nanou lived as an asylum seeker for 11 years in and around London. In that time, Nanou found hope and empowerment, experimenting with english and the specific regional dialects she encountered as she moved from door to door. This piece is about finding voice, hope and the ever-transitory nature of life.

Floating Space is a six-part anthology for anyone searching for a place where they truly belong. It’s believed that everyone needs three places: home, work, and a space in between. But in a post-Covid, cost-of-living crisis, and online-centred world, how many of us actually have that third place?
This episode explores what a third place is, and asks why we desperately need one? Unpack the decline of third places, how to identify one, and why the absence of one in your life isn’t your fault.

The Baron Hotel - Uncovering Roots

Uncovering Roots is a podcast that investigates stories from the SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) region. The first mini-series was released back in December 2023, about an Armenian Genocide survivor who became a Hollywood star.
Now, Uncovering Roots returns with the first episode of its new season, beginning in Aleppo, at the doors of one of the most iconic hotels in the Middle East.
The Baron Hotel once hosted kings, spies, archaeologists, and refugees. It was a grand hotel at the crossroads of empire, war, and survival. In this episode, we trace the layered history of the Baron through the voice of Mary Momdjian, whose family built and ran the hotel for generations.
From stories of Armenian refugees during the genocide to Agatha Christie writing her book, the Baron’s past is woven into the fabric of Syria’s modern history. Today, it stands abandoned. A fragile, fading symbol of memory and loss.

To watch the world pass by from your home’s window is an intimate experience: at once deeply personal and yet universal, cinematic even, at times. Although we all do it, when was the last time someone asked you, sincerely; what do you see when you look outside your window?
Featuring experimental sound design that reflects the processes of art-making and city-wandering, we journey to Central London’s Brunswick Centre to meet Jill Rock, who sculpts natural found objects and geometric constructions under the light of her living room window.
