Proximities

In this week's episode, we talk to acclaimed foreign correspondent and author Sally Hayden about her latest book "This is Also a Love Story". Struck by the good she saw in people as they went through the worst moments of their lives, Sally set out to document the love she saw all around her in her work as an international journalist. In dispatches from Uganda to Syria, from Ukraine to Lebanon, we hear stories of romantic love, familial love, a mother's love and - even - love for humanity.

What is Proximities?

Former foreign correspondent and international news editor Barry Malone talks to the journalists covering the non-Western news we rarely hear about. Expect under-reported stories told by the people closest to them.

Proximities hosts intelligent discussions on the most important stories from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and more.

We cover the news that is getting the least attention in the mainstream international media, and add missing context to the stories that are.
