Build specific stories with room for people, place and perspective.

Inside this collection

This collection connects the craft of an individual interview with the wider context around a travel story. The interview guide begins with a focused invitation, thoughtful questions and a fair edit. The world travel guide asks how those voices are framed, how places are represented and what a single scene can reasonably establish.

Choose a starting point

Read the interview guide before approaching a contributor, then use the local-context guide while outlining the episode and writing narration. Keep the guest’s lived experience distinct from a general claim about a destination. A strong story can be vivid and limited at the same time: it can help a listener understand one experience while leaving space for other accounts.

Whose experience is this, and what do listeners need to understand it?
