How does longing feel for you? Is this something you experience a lot? Do you push it away? Do you try not to want things you don't have? Does that work? My own life and identity has felt, in many ways, built around this feeling. It's painful and beautiful and complicated.
This week's show features a beautiful story by multimedia artist Ariana Martinez, Slow Burn Seeking, which originally aired on BBC Radio 4's Shortcuts.
We've also got a short story from Celine Teo-Blockey called Desert Lake, about California's Lake Mono. This piece was created in response to an Audio Playground assignment. Celine is a music critic and the creator/writer of Under the Radar Magazine's podcast where she interviews incredible musicians, some that you've heard on this show, about their lives and music.
