Our take on Bloodlines podcast

Bloodlines, hosted by Poonam Taneja of the BBC, goes through the story of Dure Ahmed, who was once married to an IS member. In episodes lasting around 40 minutes, produced by BBC Sounds and CBC Podcasts, the series tracks Ahmed's journey from being a Canadian in love to being a detainee in Syria. Taneja leads her investigation in a Syrian detention camp, focusing on finding a missing British grandchild. This podcast invites you to watch the fine line between innocence and guilt in the context of extremism. It discovers personal stories often overlooked in mainstream news while discussing Ahmed's potential return to Canada and its implications. Bloodlines is a news podcast by BBC Sounds.
