Presented in a half-hour magazine format, this series, which started in May 2012, features authors and academics discussing their latest books, generally in the political and economic arena, but venturing into linguistics, film studies, psychogeography, anthropology and even Scandinavian crime novels. Podcast 4 - London 2012 Olympics: What happens when global meets local? - sees Architectural Advisor to the 2012 Olympic Games and LSE Cities Professor Ricky Burdett talking about the primacy of legacy and the importance of leaving something that becomes "a real piece of city", followed by writer - and Hackney resident - Iain Sinclair’s take on the Olympics, in which he takes issue with the accelerated rate of change, arguing that the history of the place, and the needs of local people have been pushed aside by the demands of the "grand project". In Podcast 5, Melanie Williams, Lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of East Anglia, explains how film and gender studies make natural companions.

Part of the Al Jazeera English website, this series features African reporters going undercover to expose corruption and abuse across the continent. The subjects range from illegal mining in Ghana, in the film Ghana Gold, to an investigation by journalist Stanley Kwenda into the reasons why thousands of children have fled from Zimbabwe to South Africa over the past decade in Zimbabwe’s Child Exodus. Other subjects covered include the trade in the body parts of murdered albinos in Tanzania and illegal logging in Sierra Leone. The ethos and background to the series is explained in What Price the Story? which explains the dangers of being an investigative journalist in Africa and why it is important that African reporters be given a voice, rather than, as has been the custom in the past, having Western correspondents ‘parachuted’ in who lack the knowledge and local perspective to do the subject justice.
