This month What We Leave We Carry, the podcast series from WritersMosaic that tells the stories of migration to the UK, has followed the journeys of people moving from Malaysia, Chile, the USA and India. Listen out for:

  • Lynda-Marie Taurasi, who recalls how, in migrating to Edinburgh from the US, she felt she was fulfilling an ancestral need to return. Listen here.
  • Andrea Antonieta Schroeder, who talks about what it was like to leave Chile and move to the UK with a broken heart. Listen here.
  • Steve McCoy, who reflects on patriotism and the sense of homecoming he felt after moving from Malaysia to the UK as an A-level student in the 1970s. Listen here.
  • Abha Sharma, who confides she is undecided as to whether she would prefer India, the UK, or neither as her home. Listen here.

For the latest episodes, visit the WritersMosaic website or look out for the What We Leave We Carry podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
