Did you know your favorite Halwa isn’t actually from India? We trace the roots of this iconic sweet from Persia to the Mughal courts. For our local listeners in Australia, we dive into the ”forbidden zones”—from the surveillance hub of Pine Gap to the toxic ghost town of Wittenoom. You’ll also hear about: The cultural symbols hidden in Rajasthani textiles. How Melbourne’s climate is changing our favorite holiday spots. A quick review of the latest Punjabi tracks.
