Inclusive Journalism Cymru: Understanding Our Past to Know Our Present
In partnership with the Wales Broadcast Archive, Inclusive Journalism Cymru commissioned three members to explore historical broadcasts and create original work reflecting on contemporary Wales.
Writer, performer, and podcaster Soma Ghosh responded to a 1960 interview by Welsh broadcaster Vincent Kane on Merlin’s Oak in Carmarthen by creating a podcast on enchanted trees in Wales and Bengal.
“The Tree Men of Wales and Bengal” links Merlin’s legendary oak to Ramakrishna, a 19th-century saint from Kolkata whose wish-fulfilling Kalpataru tree symbolized enlightenment under British rule.
