Listen in to the journey I took through Afghanistan and Pakistan on The World starting tonight. A special four-part series of radio reports titled “Inside the Taliban” will be aired over the next four days on The World, which is a co-production of the BBC-Public Radio International and WGBH, Boston . The project is a partnership between GlobalPost and The World and was funded in part by a Luce Foundation grant for reporting on religion. Check it out on your local public radio station or on-line at theworld.org.
Seamus Murphy/VII, 1996
The radio series is the first phase of an ambitious multimedia project that we are putting together and which will appear on GlobalPost later in the summer. The series focuses in on the Taliban and how the US troops seeking to confront the religious movement fail to understand it. It will feature the powerful photography of my colleague Seamus Murphy of the photo agency VII and video and audio portraits of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The reporting trip was built around revisiting people and places that Seamus and I know through 15 years of reporting there. And in case you have been wondering, the writing and producing of this multimedia project is what I’ve been doing with my summer. We will keep you posted on when it will appear on GlobalPost. Until then, please check out The World.
