How to Read
by The HTR team

Each episode is a short conversation – 15 minutes max – with a different scholar or thinker.
Whether we’re talking about women dancers in Hindi cinema, the politics of “dirty bodies” in Nigeria or why binge-watching TV could be a good thing, we like to talk with people who can communicate big, complex ideas accessibly without over-simplifying.
