In Istanbul, an ancient spring running under a Church, is believed to have miraculous powers. On this week’s Heart & Soul on @bbcworldservice we visited, to find a place that unites the city’s many faiths & cultures. This was a joy to make w/ @zbilginsoy bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0j…


Our program w top talents in Istanbul on our city, arts, quake, is here w musicians @GayeSuAkyol, @selinsumbultepe, comedian @KaanSekbann, television & film directors @selmannacar, @zeynep__gunay & Aslı Özge. Presented @nikkibedi, produced @nickijp & me. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…


Is Istanbul ready for the coming earthquake? The short answer is no. The more complex story is one of politics, poor urban planning and a struggle to find safe housing. Our documentary for @bbcworldservice with @ewither & @carolinebayley bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…
