About this episode

This episode explores the significance of relics through various personal stories and perspectives.

This episode is an exploration of relics. Objects, memories and ideas that exist past their intended end, they hold a significance whether we like it or not. Relics have a life of their own, some we search for, others finding us. One way or another, they hold power. - Kareem Rahma, the host of New York City’s underground talkshow ‘Subway Takes’ opens up about the time he 'threw away a museum' - Kala, an archaeology student, tells us about digging. - Razza waxes lyrical about why he makes time to speak to the older generations. - The first black musician to win the BBC Young Musician Award since its launch in 1978, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, talks to us about his cello - 'Tat Vision', a self proclaimed plastic addict tells us about how his love of plastic triumphs his environmental responsibilities.
