In part 2 of our conversation Robert gives us background on the making of the Travel Tape Podcast series including the editing of the amazing sounds captured in Stuart Butler’s audio diary from his exploration on foot of  the Masaii country of Southern Kenya in 2015. And his interview with journalist author David Eimer on the little known Korean enclave within the border of China. Robert joined me for part 2 from his home in Kuala Lumpur.
