For the first episode of this season, we are trying something new. Instead of an interview, this week we turn the feed over to another, Marit Kleinert, who takes us to Zanzibar in the first episode of her new show, Beyond Theory. It is a fantastic piece of audio documentary, merging music, field recording, interview, and (yes) a little bit of social science theory to explore the dynamic women's cooperative economic sector in the Zanzibar archipelago.

Marit Kleinert is a Masters candidate in the program "Human Geography: Globalisation, Media and Culture" at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. This podcast was produced for a seminar in that program. Marit has a background in musicology and sound studies, as well as Southeast Asian studies, on which she draws in her podcast.
