“You go back and listen. People that have passed now, you can hear their voices… it just brings back memories.” Unlike a letter or telegram, or even a video on a screen, a cassette recording can feel like the person is right there in the room. This episode reflects on the deep emotional impact of Tape Letters. It also explores questions of identity, nationality, and culture. “I take pride in being Scottish, I’m Scottish-Pakistani… [but] I'm torn between two cultures, two languages, two countries.”  Episode creditsContributors: Izaz Ur Rahman, Naila Waseem, Mohammed Farooq, Dean Mohammed, Jamila Bibi, Mirza Muhammad Saeed, Nadira Saddiq, Shenaz Ahmad, Faria Khan, Kausar Ilyas, Nasim Hussain, Akeel Ahmad, Khalida HussainCassette tape donors: Khadijah Khurram, Mohammed Ishaq, Kauser Riaz, Rehana AhmadProject director: Wajid YaseenPodcast presenter: Tabassum NiamatPodcast production &amp; sound design: <a href="https://www.listentosteve.com/">Steve Urquhart</a> <a href="https://tapeletters.com/scotland/">Tape Letters Scotland</a> is a <a href="https://www.modusarts.org/">Modus Arts</a> project, made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
