Series 3 Ep 10: Judith Scheele
Episode 10
Friday, 6 March, 2026
An extraordinary desert traveller and social anthropologist bursts all the cliches as she takes us on a journey into the heart of the Sahara to reveal its complex human history. Instead of an imagined city of gold, Judith Scheele reveals something of the real Timbuktu, unpicking the myths and the romance in a discussion based on two decades of field research in Mali, Southern Algeria and Northern Chad.
