On this anniversary episode of TiffinTalk, we briefly reflect on the past year and what lies ahead - including the plans of our network, Dabba Radio, to create much more content on the path to free and open radio in India.
We then turn to Kabi. Kabi has lived all over the world, including in Los Angeles where she worked as a taxi driver for 3 years on the night shift, before returning to Mumbai in 1993. Since returning, she has started “Meter Down,” a blog that chronicles the untold stories of Mumbai’s taxi drivers. The blog won the “Best Podcast” award in 2008 from the Indian Weblog Awards.
Next, we chat with Jill Beckingham. Jill Beckingham is the wife of the British Deputy High Commissioner here in Mumbai, but the reason we are talking to her is a walk she did in November. Jill walked the historic Salt Satyagraha route from Ahmedabad to Dandi to raise money for six charities. She talks to us about the walk.
