Issue 15: X-Rays and Beers in Space

URSA

Welcome to another issue of URSA, Europe’s audio magazine!
In this first section, you’ll be hearing the latest headlines and climate updates from Europe. We discuss developments following the catastrophic earthquake in Turkey and Syria, including how women in war-torn northwestern Syria are acutely affected by the country’s lack of aid and assistance.
We also discuss how the UK has banned Lufthansa’s ‘green’ adverts for misleading consumers, how Athens is planning to turn its abandoned airport into a lush park, the High Seas Treaty and much more.
In the next sections of URSA, you’ll hear this month’s feature pieces, food updates from Will Maidment, and the arts and culture section and an exciting local artist spotlight.
Our theme music is from Lucas Carey, with audio from Epidemic Sound. Cover art by Sian Amber Fletcher.
This episode is brought to you by Bear Radio.
If you’re a producer based in Europe and have an idea for an URSA story, we’d love to hear from you! We’re always accepting new pitches.
