Hello and welcome to Turan Tales!
I’m thrilled to share with you the first episode of my bi-weekly podcast delving into underreported stories of people, politics and social change in Central Asia.
In this episode I explain what Turan Tales is, where the idea came from and what I hope to achieve with this newsletter.
I am then joined by Peter Leonard, a fellow journalist focusing on Central Asia, to discuss the idiosyncrasies of reporting from the region. We went on a rant (or two) about the condition of mainstream media and how hard our job is. Hope you’ll find it interesting.
Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions - all feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Have a lovely day,
— Agnieszka
