Description

We're away on our summer break until September, but this week and next week we're re-releasing two of our favourite episodes from The Europeans' award-winning series, 'This Is What A Generation Sounds Like. 



This week, a story that spans three generations of women: Sara, her mother, and her grandmother. In their collective lifetimes, Albania entered a communist dictatorship; the regime fell; and then there was a transition. And through it all, there was a dish: trahana. 



This episode first aired in 2021. You can find a beautiful visual version of this podcast, produced by our friends at Are We Europe, here.



This series was co-produced with Are We Europe and made in cooperation with the Allianz Foundation.
