Freelance Pod

We’re living through a time of huge change, and Freelance Pod is all about how the internet has revolutionised work. Each episode, creative guests from the worlds of journalism, social media, TV – even graffiti – tell host, freelance journalist Suchandrika Chakrabarti, how they’ve navigated the move from analogue to digital.

Past guests include Twitter’s Director of Curation, a producer on Ed Miliband’s podcast Reasons to be Cheerful and some guy called Charlie Brooker who makes a Netflix show.

Suchandrika will be joined for this live recording by Abdul Tahhan, a Syrian refugee based in London. He was a researcher at Airwars, where he tracked Russian and Coalition airstrikes in Syria. He’s now developing a podcast featuring refugees telling their own stories of settling into life in the UK – and it’s funny.
