In the second episode of our new podcast, Editor’s Picks, Stuart Butler reports from Iraq, where a new type of tourism is drawing visitors back to the country


In this weekly edition of the Geographical podcast, we read out three articles from the magazine or website.

In this episode, we hear how climate change is impacting the world’s northernmost rivers; we learn about traditional Indigenous fire practices; and we meet the founder of a new group helping travellers connect with ordinary people in Iraq.
