A series of conversations between writer-director Rika Ohara, composer Jono Podmore and members of the team drawn together to create a feature film based on Lord Byron's epic poem. Developed from a new reading of Lord Byron's 1813 bestseller, feature film THE GIAOUR returns voice to its drowned heroine Leila, and finds a love story between two men – one Muslim, the other, Christian – caught in the age-old conflict between the East and West. Podcast concept: Sayako Sugawara

As an introduction, Rika and Jono discuss some of the fundamental themes running through both the poem and the film. Race, gender, vampires and pronunciation of the word "giaour" feature alongside geopolitics, sex and power.
Music by Jono Podmore with Drums Off Chaos and Jie Ma
