In this episode we cover the complications of logging history from countries that have been through war, and why nostalgia can sometimes get in the way of finding the truth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The Architect – Somali version

On Things We Left Behind is a story-driven podcast that explores the hidden afterlife of war. In what ways does leaving your country behind shape the life that you rebuild? That’s the question that the hosts, daughters of Somali refugees, seek to explain. The podcast takes an in-depth look into the lives of those who were made to start all over, and meditates on the things that are left behind in war’s wake.On Things We Left Behind was one of the&nbsp;three finalists for&nbsp;LaunchPod 2019, the UK’s first podcast competition. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
