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

We talk to professor Rebecca Nesvet, Professor of Literature at University of Wisconsin, Green Bay. It was Prof. Nesvet's idea that The Giaour's "broken tale" was finished in the fifth canto of Don Juan (in which Juan spends a night in the Sultan's harem dressed as a woman) that originally drew Rika to the story.
Music by Jono Podmore with The İstanbul Strings
Text read by Nick Rawling
Voices: Rika Ohara, Jono Podmore, Rebecca Nesvet - recorded in L.A, London and Green Bay
