Dealing With Our Past
Catrin Nye presents a range of inspirational talks and then interviews the speakers to explore their big idea. This week鈥檚 theme is Dealing With Our Past.
In the age of coronavirus, inspirational speakers are still trying to get their ideas across; it鈥檚 just that they鈥檙e doing it online, not in person. They continue to give talks about their work, their passions and the state of the world. Catrin Nye is back with a new series, bringing us some of the best talks with a Welsh connection, and interviewing the speakers in-depth about their big idea. It鈥檚 food for the mind and inspiration for the soul.
This week: Catrin talks to three speakers with very different takes on the theme Dealing With Our Past. Giles Duley 鈥� a photographer who lost both legs and an arm in an explosion in Afghanistan 鈥� tells us how the experience affected him in a surprising way; campaigner against Female Genital Mutilation, Nimco Ali describes the psychological impact of what happened to her as a child; and historian William Dalrymple takes us on a shocking journey through Britain鈥檚 colonial past in India, starting at Powis Castle in Mid Wales.
The Idea is a Bengo Media production for 大象传媒 Radio Wales
